Abstract :
Due to the very specific electromagnetic properties values of biological tissues, electromagnetic field calculation in the human body is difficult and the choice of the best numerical formulation is not straightforward. This question is analysed by solving a canonical problem: the scattering of a plane wave by concentric cylinders. Electromagnetic properties of various biological tissues are considered. Several finite element formulations are compared in the 10 Hz-1 GHz frequency range with respect to the analytical solution
