title: An electrical impedance index to distinguish between normal and cancerous tissues.
abstract: Bioimpedance measurements have previously shown that cancerous tissues in many cases have a higher characteristic frequency than normal tissues. This paper tries to find an index which is sensitive to variation in the characteristic frequency but is independent of the impedance value itself. Calculated indexes from several publications in most cases show values larger than one for cancerous tissues and less than one for normal tissues.
