Thus, the probe for tissue-edge characterization comprises: a first inner conductor, which comprises: proximal and distal ends, with respect to a tissue edge, along an x-axis; a first sharp edge, inherently associated with the proximal end; at least one feature, issuing from the first inner conductor, substantially at the proximal end, for forming at least one additional sharp edge, operative to enhance localized electrical fringe fields in the tissue, within a generally predefined tissue volume, at the tissue edge, the tissue volume being generally defined by physical parameters associated with the at least one feature; and a dielectric material, which encloses the conductor, in the y-z planes.
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application is a continuation-in-part of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/965,752, filed on Oct. 18, 2004, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/035,428, filed on Jan. 4, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,813,515, issued on Nov. 2, 2004.
ɛ = ɛ ∞ + Δ ⁢ ⁢ ɛ 1 + ( jωτ c ) 1 - α , Δ ⁢ ⁢ ɛ = ɛ s - ɛ ∞ ( Eq . ⁢ 5 ) Where: e is the dielectric function of the sample; ∈∞ is the dielectric function at infinite frequency=constant; ∈o is the dielectric function under dc field=constant; and j is (−1)^1/2 For each value, the statistical variance is also calculated. After calculation, the Cole-Cole parameters are transferred to the decision-making program routine.
