Description
In this paper, we present the development of a rigorous method for calculating the electromagnetic fields induced in the human body when exposed to a low-frequency magnetic field. This research is motivated by the growing need to accurately assess human exposure to electromagnetic fields, particularly in industrial environments where such fields are prevalent. To achieve this, dual formulations are analyzed and compared from both local and global perspectives. The local approach focuses on the spatial distribution of the induced fields within specific regions of the body, while the global one examines the overall the reliability of models for integral quantities such as energy. These formulations are then applied to human head phantoms obtained through the segmentation of high-resolution MRI images. This approach ensures anatomical accuracy and allows for a more detailed analysis of the field distributions in complex biological tissues. The results obtained are promising, showing consistency and reliability in calculating the induced fields. However, these findings still need to be validated through comparisons with existing data in the literature, particularly other computational methods and phantoms. Such comparisons are essential to ensure the robustness and accuracy of the proposed method. Additionally, further investigations are necessary to evaluate the impact of different anatomical structures and tissue conductivities on the induced fields.
