Abstract :
We describe two computational techniques that have been extensively used to calculate the coupling of electromagnetic fields to an anatomically-based models of the human body from ELF to microwave frequencies. The focus of the talk is on applications both for the quasi-static impedance method used at low frequencies, and on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method used for RF and microwaves.
