Electromagnetic Field in Biological Tissue Objects

Iliana Marinova and Valentin Mateev

Abstract: In this paper a method for automatic 3D model building is presented. These models are suitable for investigations of electromagnetic field distribution with Finite Element Method (FEM). Models are made by meshed structures and specific electromagnetic material properties for each tissue type. Mesh is built according to specific FEM criteria for achieving good solution accuracy. Bioimpedance measurement system is developed and electromagnetic properties, acquired by the system, are used in 3D FEM model. Achieved models are applied for electromagnetic field distribution investigation.

Keywords: 3D vector graphic, bioimpedance, measurement system, electromagnetic properties, electromagnetic field modeling, finite element method, biomagnetics.
