Parallel full-wave electromagnetic field simulation using anatomical human body models

The authors have investigated a high-accuracy analysis for the electromagnetic field of numerical human body models using the finite element method. The numerical human body models generated from computed tomography images are represented as voxel data, and composed of skin layers, blood vessels, bones, internal organs, etc.. In this paper, we propose a mesh smoothing technique to reduce the noise caused by reflection and scattering of the electric fields around material boundaries. Therefore, by using a supercomputer, we successfully evaluated the electromagnetic field distribution inside the whole body model with a high accuracy.
