Computation of the Induced Current Density Into the Human Body Due to Relative LF Magnetic Field Generated by Realistic Devices

Abstract

A three-dimensional finite-element formulation to compute induced currents into the human body due to relative low-frequency magnetic field is described. Magnetic source field and induced currents are computed separately, allowing to handle sources due to realistic devices. This method is validated using analytical solutions over a sphere. The limit of validity of the formulation is established. Computations using an accurate model of the human body are presented.
