Wire mesh sensor has been successfully fabricated and used for measurement of
the electric field in emulated human body tissue. Measurement of electric field in
human body tissue needs to be done, because the electric field is very useful for
the treatment especially cancer treatment and also important for health. In this
study, we propose a novel electric field measurement method by using wire mesh
sensor (wms), that is all channels on the wire act as receivers, and each cross point
of the wire are interconnected. While in existing wire mesh sensors, there are two
perpendicular channels of transmitter and receiver, and each channel is
unrelated, there is a distance between the two channels. At present, wire mesh
sensors 3 × 3 and 8 × 8 were used to measure the value of electric field at each
wire intersection point. The wire mesh sensor consists of copper wire in a cylindrical
body model with diameter 14 [cm]. The emulated human body tissue were inserted
in the wire mesh sensor. Furthermore, linear back propagation technique and
bilinear interpolation used for image reconstruction of the electric field distribution.
The result showed that the wire mesh sensor 8 × 8 has better resolution than wire
mesh sensor 3 × 3. The characterisation of wire mesh sensor 8 × 8 for measurement
of electric field in emulated human body tissue is obtained lower than
measurement in the air with a ratio of 82%. Meanwhile, the wire mesh sensor 3 × 3
could be achieved at 61.8%. This study can be a new science in measuring electric
field so that electric field-based treatment planning system can be more optimal.
