Abstract
The high frequency resistances of living human tissues have been measured with a high frequency Wheatstone bridge using alternating currents of one million cycles per sec. Evidence is given to show that these values are the resistances of the tissues in situ. The high resistances of superficial fat and of bone explain the electrode heating in diathermy and the small heating of bone.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
