Abstrakt: We used the finite element (FE) method to estimate the spatial sensitivity of a needle electrode for bioimpedance measurements. This current conducting needle with an insulated shaft was inserted in a saline solution and the current was measured at the neutral electrode. Model resistance and reactance were calculated and successfully compared with measurements on a laboratory model. The sensitivity field was described graphically based on these FE simulations.
