Researchers used thermal imaging to measure how much radiofrequency energy human head models absorbed when exposed to 100 watts of 456.65 MHz radiation from an antenna. They found that head position and orientation significantly affected how much energy was deposited in the tissue, with peak absorption rates varying by location.
