Thresholds for safe radio-frequency (RF) power exposure are unknown in humans. Identification of safe RF power dose thresholds is important for human safety since humans are exposed to RF environment in multiple applications. (1–5) To identify possible unsafe RF energy deposition limits in humans, in vivo temperature responses were measured in the scalp and brain of eight human-sized porcine models.
