Figure 4 Dielectric properties and Cole-Cole fitting curves of different tissues. (A) Comparison of permittivity and conductivity between metastatic and normal lymph nodes across different frequencies, with Cole-Cole fitting curves for each tissue type. (B) Dielectric properties of breast cancer and 3 different benign tumors (adenosis, fibroadenoma, and fibrocystic lesions) along with their Cole-Cole fitting curves. (C) Comparison of dielectric properties between breast cancer and tissues located 3 cm from the tumor boundary, with corresponding Cole-Cole fitting curves. The figures were created using R Statistical Software (v4.1.2, R Core Team 2021), R package: ggplot2 (v3.5.1, H. Wickham), and Rmisc (v1.5.1, Ryan M. Hope).
