Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 10, wherein step (e) and step (g) each comprises:
determining, for each of the voxels in the target volume, a first orientation electric field intensity that will be present when a respective set of model electrodes positioned at a respective set of locations is used to impose an alternating electric field in the target volume with the first orientation;
determining a respective first-orientation power loss density for each voxel in the target volume based on the conductivity of the 3D model at the voxel and the first orientation electric field intensity at the voxel;
determining, for each of the voxels in the target volume, a second orientation electric field intensity that will be present when the respective set of model electrodes positioned at the respective set of locations is used to impose an alternating electric field in the target volume with the second orientation;
determining a respective second-orientation power loss density for each voxel in the target volume based on the conductivity of the 3D model at the voxel and the second orientation electric field intensity at the voxel; and
selecting, for each of the voxels in the target volume, the smaller of the respective first-orientation power loss density and the respective second-orientation power loss density.
