Numerical calculation of electromagnetic (EM) field
using full wave 3D FDTD method was demonstrated in the
four different tissue ratio breast models and compared
with breast phantom. B1+ homogeneity at sagittal,
coronal, and transverse and whole volume was calculated
in the models and compared to the phantom. In addition,
peak/global SAR was calculated and compared with the
temperature change measured at four locations.
