title: Dose rate distribution in triple-layered dielectric cylinder with irregular cross section irradiated by plane wave sources.
abstract: Previous investigations have shown that absorptions of microwave energy in biological bodies depend, in part, on the size and shape of the biological bodies. Calculations of dose rate distributions in regularly-shaped biological tissues have been reported. In this investigation, dose distributions are calculated for a human thigh simulated by a dielectric cylinder with irregular cross section. Method of moments is used in the investigation. The results indicate possibility of using method of moments to calculate dose distribution in a two-dimensional irregularly-shaped biological body. It is concluded that additional research is needed to determine dose rate distribution in three-dimensional irregularly-shaped biological bodies.
