Note: The uncertainty interval for fetal worst-case exposure (bold) is stated on the last row. The first row states the values from Hand et al (6), in which the sixth month of gestation NICT model was used with homogenous tissue properties for the fetus. avgT, average temperature; pT, peak temperature; SS, steady state; WC, worst-case.
