Abstract

Two electromagnetic human body models independently developed from the same image dataset-the voxel-based AustinWoman and surface-based VHP-Female models- are compared. In addition to contrasting volumes and crosssection images of their tissues, the power absorbed by the two models under plane-wave excitation is also compared. Five different numerical methods are used to compute the absorbed power and to evaluate modeling and computational errors.
