Abstract

The electromagnetic–thermal dosimetry model for the human brain exposed to EM radiation is developed. The electromagnetic (EM) model based on the surface integral equation (SIE) formulation is derived using the equivalence theorem for the case of a lossy homogeneous dielectric body. The thermal dosimetry model of the brain is based on the form of Pennes’ equation of heat transfer in biological tissue. The numerical solution of the EM model is carried using the Method of Moments (MoM) while the bioheat equation is solved using the finite element method. Developed electromagnetic thermal model has been applied in internal dosimetry of the human brain to assess the absorbed electromagnetic energy and consequent temperature rise due to exposure of 900 MHz plane wave.
