Description
Metallic implants may enhance the localized SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) in the human exposure from electromagnetic fields. Implanted metal plates for the treatment of mandibular fractures are known that they lead the enhancement of power absorption in a gap between two metal plates. Previous study evaluated the temperature increase due to the metal plates. In the simulation, SAR, i.e. power absorption in the human tissue around metal plates was served as a heat source. However, the heating due to the ohmic loss on the metal plates were not considered in the simulation method. In this study, the assessment method of temperature increase considering the ohmic loss on implanted metal plates is proposed.
