Abstract

In this study, the electrical properties of 19 segments of canine cadaveric bones were measured using an Impedance Analyzer E 4990 A using frequencies ranging from 20 Hz 20 MHz with the purpose of identifying a correlation with the bone mineral density The Impedance Analyzer was able to display ideal plots of the electrical properties for biological tissue The conductivity also showed consistent behavior of the age of the bone sample with its bone mineral density thus, providing promising results of using bioimpedance to acquire this type of variable
