There are two specific aims.
Specific Aim 1 : Prospective Modeling of the Electromagnetic (EM) Absorbed Power Deposition; Hypothesis: Prospective modeling of EM-induced power deposition will yield improved HT temperature distributions.
Specific Aim 2 : Retrospective Recontruction of the Complete 3D Temperature Distribution; Hypothesis: Retrospective reconstruction of HT-induced temperature distributions will be accurate and robust.
