In vivo measurement of tumor conductiveness with the magnetic bioimpedance method.
A noninvasive electromagnetic method has been developed that can effectively measure the in-vivo conductivity difference between rat tumor lines having a low and high metastatic potential. These tumor lines are used in the study of human prostate tumor.
