Measurement of the electrical properties of human skin and the variation among subjects with certain skin conditions.
In this study the dielectric properties are reported for human skin tissues over the frequency range 1-450 MHz at 36 degrees C. Healthy volunteers, collagen disease patients and dialysis patients are studied in order to investigate, primarily, the variability among (1) different regions of one individual, (2) the same region among different individuals and (3) skin conditions due to diseases. Considerable differences exist among the skin dielectric properties obtained from different regions of one individual body. Although region dependence is observed, larger variability is found even in the same skin region among individuals.
