Abstract:

This article provides an overview of some diagnostic methods for indicators and changes in the electrophysical properties of biological tissues. The key principles of assessing the electrical conductivity and resistance of tissues under the influence of alternating and direct current electric charge using standard and modified meters and signal generators, as well as the possibilities of digital improvement of computational models, are considered. Some existing and promising methods are presented that enable to solve important problems of forensic medical practice by registering changes in electrophysical parameters.

Keywords:

electrical conductivity of biological tissues
impedance measurement
impedance
prescription of death coming
polarization
