Abstract
The Polyacrylamide gel is suggested as a new and convenient material for simulating the electrical behavior of biological tissues in experimental studies of heat deposition by electromagnetic means. The advantages of Polyacrylamide are: 1) excellent optical transparency, 2) solid elastic, 3) easily shaped into complex forms, 4) readily prepared with a complete range of highly reproducible values of electrical parameters, which can also be combined to simulate various different tissues in complex structures. The material is also low-cost and readily available.
