The analysis of an absorption rate in view of electromagnetic exposure effects exemplified by the breast cancer
Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to introduce numerical analysis of a specific absorption rate in a woman body, mainly in the area of the breast. The analyzed realistic numerical breast phantoms are classified according to their radiographic density, defined by the American College of Radiology. Numerical computational electromagnetics simulations can be used as Empire XCcel software based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The results were compared with the current Directive (Directive 2013/35 / EU). It has been shown that the microwave tomography method is safe.
