Abstract:In this paper we present a simulation study of the induced specific absorption rate (SAR) within the phantom produced by radiofrequency radiation from a 8 MHz capacitive applicator. The main focus of the current study is on demonstrating the beam shaping properties of the bolus system as well as its effect on controlling the therapeutic area. Different electrical conductivities and geometries of the bolus were considered in the simulation of induced SAR distributions in a muscle-equivalent model with uniform d… Show more
