1. A method for analyzing the structure of an electrically conductive object, the method comprising the steps of: (i) obtaining electrical impedance data for the object over a range of frequencies; (ii) analyzing the obtained electrical impedance data using a transfer function of an assumed electrical model to determine a plurality of electrical impedance properties for the object; (iii) constructively combining selected ones of the determined plurality of electrical impedance properties to provide at least one parametric impedance value for the object; and (iii) imaging one or more of the determined parametric impedance values.
