Abstract :
In order to develop an applicator for microwave hyperthermia, it is necessary to use phantom models to simulate human tissues. In this paper, dry state phantom models which are very stable and easy to handle are studied. The phantom models are made of solid materials and soft materials, which are electrically simulated human muscle and fat. The models are very useful to simulate distribution of specific absorption rate (SAR) inside human tissue model.
