Abstract :
In vitro exposure systems must be well controlled to determine the specific absorption rate (SAR, W/kg) distribution in solutions containing suspended or plated cells. The dosimetry is based on electromagnetic, thermal and convection simulations, to take into account thermal effects if necessary. The aim of our work is to predict SAR distribution in several exposure systems and to develop a numerical model to complete the dosimetry taking into account thermal and hydrodynamic phenomena.
