Abstract :
In this paper we report on computations of the scattered plane electromagnetic (EM) field by a model human heart at selected incidence polar θ and azimuthal φ angles of the microwaves. The heart model is composed of the myocardium as well as the right and left atria with ventricles. The 3D surface model of the heart has been created in 3D StudioMAX. The method of singular integral equations (SIE) was applied. For verification of the SIE algorithm we compared our computational results with experimental data for a metal disk.
