Abstract :
We present large-scale computations of currents induced in the human body, arising from an external low-frequency magnetic field. Using the Ex-SPFD approach, a two-step algorithm for the efficient calculation of induced currents in inhomogeneous, low-conductive materials, models consisting of hundred millions of unknowns are used. The high model resolution allows a detailed analysis of the induced currents, even in small organs like in the eye
