F = geometry with only fatty tissue, FT = geometry with fatty tissue and embedded tumour. C and T indicate constant and temperature dependent electrical conductivity respectively. S indicates that steady-state analysis has been performed, i.e. when the model has reached thermal equilibrium using constant boundary conditions. Cases denoted CT use transient analysis where Vin is controlled to maintain the maximum temperature at 100°C. | ||||||
