The electrical conductivity of human tissues has been
inferred from in vitro and/or ex vivo measurements of
different species. However, in vivo tissues may differ
from in vitro or ex vivo state due to the complicated
tissue responses in living organs. In this study, we
performed in vivo MREIT imaging of human lower extremity
and compared the resulting conductivity images with ex
vivo biological tissue phantom images. Comparing with
phantom results, the human conductivity images showed
similar pattern except muscle and adipose tissue due to
the anisotropic characteristic of muscle and irrigation
of high conductive fluids in the adipose tissue.
