The bioheat equation produces a similar plot for the heating of the head, which is<br />

highest closest to the antenna. The maximum temperature increase (from 37 °C) is less<br />

than 0.2 °C, and drops rapidly inside the head.<br />

Figure 3-26: The local increase in temperature at the surface has a maximum of 0.2 °C<br />

right beneath the antenna.<br />
