Abstract

The electromagnetic properties of body tissues depend on numerous factors, the most important of which are ionic concentrations and, particularly in the low-frequency regime, membrane density and geometry. In this chapter, the characteristics of these properties and their spectra are introduced. The properties measured by different types of MR-based methods are described.
