Abstract :
This paper compares the specific absorption rate (SAR) values induced in human tissues once obtained when using the equivalent liquid dielectric properties of the equivalent liquid filling the phantom used in SAR measurements and from a model that proposes realistic continuation of tissues in the human body. The calculations are performed for the case of a dipole close to a multilayer structure representing the different body tissues using integral equations techniques solved by the method of moments.
