Shape-deformable models for computational electromagnetic dosimetry of a human body

Recently, there has been increasing concern regarding the effects of human exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs). We previously estimated detailed specific absorption rates (SARs) in a body by applying numerical simulations to anatomically realistic computational human models. However, most such computational models are reference (average) models. This study describes a shape-deformable human model obtained from a volume morphing technique. This approach allows us to develop a computational model of a target person based on existing models. We also compute the frequency characteristics of whole-body averaged SARs for shape-deformable models exposed to RF-EMF.
