Description
Based on reported dielectric property measurements of melanoma, we developed a tissue mimicking phantom composed of easy-to-obtain ingredients. The phantom’s purpose is to serve as a system validation phantom for radiofrequency devices that aid early detection of skin cancer. This abstract reports a developed phantom and a Cole-Cole-model of the phantom’s dielectric properties in the frequency range of 2 – 18 GHz. The developed phantom shows good agreement with reported melanoma properties.
