Figure 6
Effect of blood perfusion level. A 10 GHz microwave pulse of 3 s duration with power density of 5 W cm-2 was considered for illustrative purposes. Blood perfusion levels in units of ml/100 g min are shown in inset. Skin surface temperature as a function of time is shown for these different perfusion levels. The different plots essentially overlap, showing that blood perfusion has negligible effect on temperature distribution in the case of a 3-sec 10 GHz exposure.
