This study demonstrates the feasibility of electric property tomography to measure quantitatively the conductivity of centrally located tumors in a pelvic-sized phantom and human pelvis with a standard magnetic resonance (MR) system and MR sequences. A good quantitative agreement was found between the reconstructed σ-values and probe measurements for a wide range of σ-values and for off-axis located spherical compartment. As most pelvic tumors are located in the central region of the pelvis, these results can be exploited in hyperthermia treatment planning systems.
