1. A system for non-invasive detection of the state of hydration in a living specimen, said system comprising:

  • an RF generator/transmitter for emitting RF radiation signals at a plurality of frequencies and for transmitting said radiation signals through a tissue of a living specimen;

    a receiver adapted to receive RF radiation Signals passing through the living specimen at the plurality of frequencies;

    a processor; and

    an indicator unit for providing an output signal representative of a hydration state of said tissue;

    wherein said processor receives signals from said receiver and compares the intensity of the transmitted RF signals, at the plurality of frequencies, passing through said tissue with that of at least one reference value, indicating the state of hydration of said living tissue.
