Numerical modeling interaction of RIF field in MRI with a pregnant female model

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive, non-ionizing medical procedure which provides images of soft tissue and anatomic structures. The SAR values are typically calculated using computational electromagnetic software body models often obtained from MRI scans. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique is most often used, because of its simplicity and compatibility with numerical models of the human body. In response to this demand, a model of a pregnant female was developed and the FDTD numerical modeling to evaluate the SAR values was performed.
