View Original AbstractThe study numerically evaluated specific absorption rate and temperature rise in SD rat heads exposed to 900 MHz EMF and found no significant temperature rise.
Plain English Summary
The study numerically evaluated specific absorption rate and temperature rise in SD rat heads exposed to 900 MHz EMF. The digital anatomical model of a SD rat was reconstructed from MRI images and the finite difference time domain method was applied to assess SAR and temperature rise. Whole-body average SAR and localized SAR averaged over 1, 0.5 and 0.05 g mass for different organs and tissues were reported.
Why This Matters
The study found no significant temperature rise during the exposure setup. Measurements and simulations characterized the net radiated power of the dipole to provide precise dosimetric results. The reconstructed anatomical rat model could be used in EMF simulation and the dosimetric results inform biological effect studies.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study. The study examined exposure from: 900 MHz
