Abstract :
The interaction of electromagnetic field and human head is modelled and the eddy currents are calculated at 64 MHz, the operating frequency of a 1.5 T MRI device by numerical finite element simulation. The complexity of the tissue structure imposes a need for explaining the modelling results in more detail. The different tissue properties assigned to every element in the model are given in the form of a table. Finally, the results are discussed.
