In testing the possible biological effects of electromagnetic exposure from cellular telephones in small animals such as mice, it is essential to realize a highly localized head exposure as close as possible to that due to cellular telephones in humans. In this study, a 1.5GHz exposure setup was developed which has a highly localized specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2W/kg in the mouse brain and a low whole-body averaged SAR of 0.27W/kg. The low whole-body averaged SAR was realized by using a flexible magnetic sheet attachment on the mouse holder. Its validity has been carefully examined by both numerical simulation with an anatomically based mouse model and experimental simulation with a solid mouse phantom. Good agreement was obtained between the numerical and experimental results, which confirmed the effectiveness of the magnetic sheet attachment to the mouse holder.
