PART 2Direct biophysical effects of exposure

Exposure Limit Values – thermal effects

2

Localised SAR in the body and limbs can be assessed by either computational dosimetry or physical measurement of 10g of tissue. For computational dosimetry, 10 grams of contiguous tissue with approximately homogeneous electrical properties must be used for the SAR average. For direct physical measurements, a simple geometry, such as cubic or spherical tissue mass, may be used. The maximum value obtained must be assessed against the ELVs.
