Type: article
Abstract: The mathematical models describing the effect of gamma irradiation dose on the dielectric dispersion properties (Dielectric Spread Parameter (α), dielectric decrement (∆), and dielectric relaxation time (τ ) of Bovine liver tissue at low and radiofrequency has been developed via dielectric measurements obtained using Gamma Irradiator (GS1000), impedance meter (Booton 7200) and signal generators (Lodstar SG416013 and Harris G85793). The coefficient of fit between the irradiation dose and the dielectric spread parameter (α); dielectric decrement (∆); and dielectric relaxation time (τ) were found to be 94.0%, 74.6% and 96.0% at low frequency and; 97.8% , 99.8% and 98.2% at radiofrequency. This demonstrates that changes in the irradiated Bovine liver tissues is 'dose dependent'. The models can be used in evaluating the structural changes in Bovine liver tissue exposed to gamma irradiation dose regime usually encountered in radiology.
