Some numerical methods of thermal dosimetry for applications in bioelectromagnetics

Some thermal dosimetry methods for the analysis of human exposure to high frequency (HF) electromagnetic radiation are reviewed in this work. The formulation is based on the bio-heat transfer equation. Calculating the distribution of specific absorption rate (SAR) inside the biological body provides an assessment of a related thermal response to HF electromagnetic fields. The temperature increase is obtained by solving the bio-heat transfer equation for different exposure scenarios via Boundary Element Method (BEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM), respectively. Some illustrative computational examples are presented in the paper.
