The title of Reilly's book, if it is the one I am thinking of, is"Electrical Stimulation and Electropathology", and it is from Cambridge University Press, 1992. Another potentially useful starting point is and article by K. R. Foster and H. P. Schwan: "Dielectric properties of tissues and biological materials: A critical review", which is in Critical Reviews in Biomedical Engineering, vol. 17, Issue 1 (1989). > This does not give you the phantom, but for basic research this might be > a good point to start. This is true of the Foster and Schwan article, too. .
