Table 1.

Metrics used for the evaluation of the impact of motion on the RF heating of the Duke head model (Duke) and the CRM of the head. The Duke 1 and CRM 1 columns show the numerical results of simulations (Figure 8A,C) with the head models being placed in the center of the RF applicator. The Duke 2 and CRM 2 columns are the numerical results of simulations (Figure 8B,D) with the human head models being placed off-center (5 mm displacement upwards). SAF: SAR amplification factor; THQ: tumor-to-hotspot quotient; TC: target coverage.
