Apparatus, method and computer-accessible medium for determination of electrical properties of tissues and materials using multiple radio frequency measurements

摘要

An assembly for determining at least one electrical property of an object. The assembly includes at least one transmitter that can generate a plurality of electromagnetic field distribution patterns directed at an object. The assembly also includes a data apparatus with an MRI apparatus and a data processor. The MRI apparatus can produce at least one image of the object using a magnitude or a phase modulated by the electromagnetic field distribution patterns. The processor can then process data associated with the object to determine the at least one electrical property the object.

1. An assembly that determines at least one of a conductivity or a permittivity of an object, comprising:
at least one transmitter configured to generate a plurality of electromagnetic field distribution patterns directed at an object; and a data apparatus, including: a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging apparatus configured to produce at least two MR images of the object using at least one of a magnitude or a phase modulated by the electromagnetic field distribution patterns; and a hardware processing arrangement configured to determine the at least one of the conductivity or the permittivity of the object from the at least two produced MR images of the object.
