Abstract

As the diversification of the electromagnetic (EM) environment is spreading, it is essential to estimate the EM exposure in the mother´s body and her fetus for pregnant women under various situations. This paper presents the development of the numerical model of a 7-month pregnant woman (composed of 56 organs, which includes inherent organs of pregnant woman) based on the high-resolution whole-body voxel model of a Japanese adult woman. Moreover, an EM dosimetry by the mobile radio terminals is performed using the developed model.
