Abstract
Finite element analysis is used to model the electrical properties of cervi cal cells in the frequency range 100Hz-10MHz. Tissue models containing cell arrangements and characteristics typical of precancerous tissue produce di fferent impedivity spectra from those derived from normal tissue. These res ults support clinical data collected with a four electrode pencil probe.
