Abstract
Finite element analysis is used to model the electrical properties of cervical cells in the frequency range 100 Hz-10 MHz. Tissue models containing cell arrangements and characteristics typical of precancerous tissue produce different impedivity spectra from those derived from normal tissue. These results support clinical data collected with a four electrode pencil probe
