Numerical dosimetry for induced current densities within Japanese adult male and female voxel models due to magnetic field from induction heat hob

In this paper, numerical dosimetry on induced current density inside a human body, exposed to magnetic fields due to an induction heating (IH) cooker, is performed by the impedance method (IM). The magnetic flux density distribution, which is obtained by a magnetic probe, is used for the incident magnetic field in IM. Induced current distributions for two voxel models of the average Japanese adult male and female are obtained. These results indicate that hot spots of induced current density are observed at a few cm inside from the surface of the two models because of inhomogeneous conductivity of the tissues. The maximum value of current density inside the male model is larger than that inside the female model.
