Abstract :
Recent years have seen development of various high-resolution human computational models using advanced computer performance, and their frequent usage in electromagnetic dosimetry for the human body. The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Japan used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to develop anatomically realistic whole-body computational models of adult males and females, pregnant females and children of average Japanese body types. In this paper, we detail the Japanese computational models and describe various approaches to modeling and simulation with human computational models.
