a) HFSS simulation of electric field in whole body model from 140 MHz MAPA applicator on lower right leg. Note the minimal fields coupled into other body tissues relative to high field focused in leg.

b) HFSS simulation of E-field everywhere inside the water filled MAPA. Note the high fields around each antenna in distilled water falling off before reaching the fat layer surrounding the leg.

c) E-Physics simulation of steady state temperature in leg showing focus in tumor for the optimized phase settings of four twin dipole antennas as simulated by HFSS. Note the excellent localization of heat in elliptical tumor region at upper right with appropriate phase and amplitude settings for the four antennas.
