Abstract
Water bolus is used in microwave hyperthermia of cancer treatment to control the body surface temperature. In this paper the effect of water bolus on SAR distribution is investigated in the muscle layer of a three layered tissue model. Both the SAR penetration depth and the effective field size (EFS) are computed and compared in presence and in absence of the water bolus. Results are provided for distilled and fresh water with three different thicknesses of water bolus. All numerical simulations are performed using the Ansoft HFSS software. Numerical simulation results are in good agreement with published results.
