摘要: Abstract In this work, two-dimensional simulations of the microwave dielectric properties models with ellipses and realistic trabecular bone tissue are performed . these simulations, finite difference time domain methodology has been applied to simulate two-phase structures containing inclusions. The results presented here show that micro-structure is an important factor in effective bone. We consider feasibility using behaviour be indicator health. frequency used was 950 MHz. It found can as estimate degree anisotropy tissue. Conductivity appears most sensitive parameter respect. Models ellipse shaped-inclusions also tested study their application modelling had aspect ratio a / b  = 1.5 showed relatively good agreement when compared According here, must accounted for measuring its imaging.
