Abstract

The development of biomedical applications depends heavily on tissue-mimicking phantoms, which are of tremendous interest. Humans have been put at risk and animals have been killed because biological tissues are employed in therapeutic experiments. More than 110 million animals, including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, primates, fish, and birds, are killed every year in laboratories in the United States for biology classes, medical training, curiosity-driven experiments, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing. The aim of this project is to investigate and develop Tissue Equivalent Phantom materials for microwave applications (500 MHz – 1 GHz). The literature review will also provide insight into the properties required for tissue phantom materials to simulate biological tissues accurately. Based on the findings of the literature review, tissue-equivalent phantom materials will be developed and characterized to determine their electrical and physical properties and will be evaluated for their ability to simulate biological tissues and their suitability for use in microwave applications. This project's outcome will be the development of tissue equivalent phantom materials that can be used as a standard for testing and optimizing microwave devices and systems. These tissue equivalent phantom materials will be useful for researchers and medical device manufacturers to evaluate the performance and safety of microwave systems before using them in clinical applications.
