Effects of Averaging Mass on Predicted Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Values

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking National Institute of Public Health as follows: The contractor will investigate the role of averaging mass on calculated specific absorption rate (SAR) values in predicting the effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposures on body tissues and organs. A Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) program will be used to predict localized and whole body SAR values in 3-dimensional anatomical model of a human. Results will address the error margin in RF dosimetry.
