Summary

Bioimpedance is a noninvasive technique that produces information on the electrical characteristics of tissue inside the body from currents injected and electrical potentials measured on the surface of the body. Because freezing causes a large increase in tissue electrical impedance, the authors thought that it may also cause significant changes in the surface electrical potential making the bioimpedance technique suitable for noninvasive monitoring and imaging of cryosurgery.
