TLM numerical thermal dosimetry in realistic environnement

The purpose of this paper is to show the capability of the TLM method to handle temperature rising in strong heterogenous biological tissues exposed to various RF sources such as incident plane waves or near fields radiated by a PIFA antenna. The SAR and thermal distributions simulated in the head of the human Duke model are provided and compared with those obtained with the commercial software CST based on the FIT method.
