Abstract:
A rigorous formalism using the dyadic Green's function to determine the relative heating pattern in a two-layer fat-muscle medium of a dipole-corner reflector applicator in direct contact with the finite fat layer is described. The results are compared with the earlier approximate calculations of Guy and Lehmann. Though the two theories give identical results for the relative heat produced in the muscle layer, the relative heating patterns predicted by the present theory in the fat layer are different.
