Researchers developed the first high-resolution whole-body voxel models of average Japanese adults for radio-frequency dosimetry up to 3 GHz.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers created realistic high-resolution whole-body voxel models for Japanese adult males and females of average height and weight using magnetic resonance imaging. The models consist of 2 mm cubic voxels segmented into 51 anatomic regions. The adult female model is the first of its kind worldwide, and both are the first Asian voxel models enabling numerical evaluation of electromagnetic dosimetry at frequencies up to 3 GHz. The paper describes basic SAR characteristics for VHF/UHF bands calculated using the finite-difference time-domain method.

Why This Matters

The study aimed to investigate development of realistic high-resolution whole-body voxel models of Japanese adults and their application to radio-frequency electromagnetic-field dosimetry. Advances in computer performance have made high-resolution voxel models of the entire human body more frequent in numerical dosimetries of electromagnetic waves.
