SAR distribution along three line segments (cut lines) which lie in the plane perpendicular to the water bolus/treated area interface. The plane cuts the inductive posts in the middle. The cut lines are parallel to the interface. Cut lines 4, 5, and 6 are located at the interface, at a depth of 1, 2, and 3 cm, respectively. SAR values are given as percentages of and are related to the highest SAR value along cut line 4.
