Methods and apparatus for determining dielectric properties such as
conductivity, permittivity and/or permeability of a body are provided. An
array of resonant coils (950) capable of generating electromagnetic
radiation are provided proximate a body (950) to imaged. Properties of
the array of coils are influenced by the loading effect of the body. More
particularly, one or more resonant properties of the coils are perturbed,
the perturbation of which may be measured to obtain an indication of the
conductivity, permittivity and permeability of the loading body.
