National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

RF Radiation Absorption Patterns: Human and Animal Modeling Data.

PB274749

Publication Date	1977
Personal Author	Guy, A. W.; Webb, M. D.; McDougall, J. A.
Page Count	82
Abstract	Research performed to obtain the radiofrequency-induced power absorption patterns in models of humans and animal and to extrapolate the results to humans is described. Various models of animals and humans were exposed to radiofrequency fields and power absorption patterns and the rates of power absorption at specific anatomical locations within the models were thermographically recorded under simulated industrial exposure conditions. The results of the modeling research demonstrate the validity of this technique for predicting the magnitude and distribution of radiofrequency power absorption in humans and animals. The utility of the technique for extrapolation to human radiofrequency exposure thresholds from animal data was firmly established.
