Dear Professor Hussein:
One source of the information you need is U.S. Air Force Report
AL/OE-TR-1996-0037 "Compilation of the Dielectric Properties of Body Tissues
at RF and Microwave Frequencies" by Camelia Gabriel. This report has a
complete tabulation of the dielectric permittivity and the electrical
conductivity of 30 different kinds of tissues from humans and animals. I have
found it quite useful when I have calculated the absorption coefficient of
human brain tissue (grey matter) as a function of frequency. I obtained this
report by requesting it directly from Brooks Air Force Base, Texas. It was
published by the Occupational and Environmental Health Directorate
Radiofrequency Radiation Division, 2503 Gillingham Drive, Brooks Air Force
Base, Texas 78235-5102, USA. The author, Dr. Camelia Gabriel, was (at the
time of this work) a professor at the University of London, and she has
published much of the same material under her own name in journals that are
available internationally. I think that Bioelectromagnetics may be one place
where she has published, but I am not certain. Try searching for her articles
in MedLine, which is an arm of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (part of
the National Institutes of Health). You can access the PubMed search engine
for MedLine at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi. I searched on
the name Gabriel C and found three pertinent references among 72 total. The
three that I found are
Gabriel S, Lau RW, Gabriel C.
The dielectric properties of biological tissues:
III. Parametric models for the dielectric spectrum of
tissues.
Phys Med Biol. 1996 Nov;41(11):2271-93.
PMID: 8938026; UI: 97092361
Gabriel S, Lau RW, Gabriel C.
The dielectric properties of biological tissues:
II. Measurements in the frequency range 10 Hz to 20
GHz.
Phys Med Biol. 1996 Nov;41(11):2251-69.
PMID: 8938025; UI: 97092360
:
Gabriel C, Gabriel S, Corthout E.
The dielectric properties of biological tissues:
I. Literature survey.
Phys Med Biol. 1996 Nov;41(11):2231-49. Review.
PMID: 8938024; UI: 97092359
If you are unable to obtain the Air Force report directly from Brooks AFB,
write to the National Technical Information Services (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal
Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161-2103, USA and ask them to send you a copy.
They are authorized to release the report to the general public, including
foreign nationals such as yourself. You will have to pay a nominal copying
fee and mailing fee, but I don't know how much that will cost. You will have
to find out from NTIS. If you are unable to obtain either the report or the
journal articles, please write me and I will see that you get a copy of the
report. Please try all the other means of getting the report or journal
articles, because the report is 267 pages long, so it will be quite expensive
for me to have it copied and sent to you. Nevertheless, I am willing to do
this if all other suggested methods for you to get the information fail. Good
luck in your endeavors. I would like to keep in touch with you.
Sincerely yours,
Bill Curry
