Physiological Influences on Tissue Electrical Properties In Situ.
Abstract
The overall objectives of this research investigation are to further develop and extend the capabilities of the recently-developed in-situ probe measurement technique and to use this technique to study the possible effects of induced physiological changes on tissue dielectric properties. During the fourth year of the program, the research investigations performed included (1) dielectric measurements of renal tissue under controlled perfusion conditions, (2) investigations of different artificial perfusate solutions to develop a solution which best preserved renal function, (3) characterization of renal pressure flow relationships using both in-line flow measurement and radioactive tracer techniques, (4) design and development of software for a fully automated data acquisition and processing systems (5) development of a controlled contact force multiple probe holder, and (6) comparison of radioactive tracer and dielectric probe measurement results.
