Dewar Calorimetry Technique for Determining Specific Absorbed power of Rodents in Radiofrequency Fields

Abstract

A Dewar calorimeter system has been built and demonstrated to be a practical instrument for determining the absorbed power of rodents exposed to radiofrequency fields. Some of the potential pitfalls of this technique have been pointed out and solutions are presented in this paper.
