The application of the guard ring has been advanced as a method for focusing the applied current in performing electrical-impedance measurements of volume conductors. The objective is to obtain impedance and/or its variation at localised regions of heterogeneous tissue. The paper discusses the capabilities of limitations of both guarded and unguarded measurements and show that the application of guarding does not, normally, fulfil the capabilities being ascribed to itKeywords:
