Abstract

The implications of electromagnetic waves for human health are the subject of rising concern. Numerical simulation with fine-resolution and anatomically realistic computational human models has recently been performed for electromagnetic dosimetry. However, most of the computational models are reference models. Every person has different physical features even if when of the same age. In this study, we proposed a volume morphing technique for developing personalized computational models from existing computational models. We also tested the feasibility of our proposed method. The result indicated that the proposed method is able to construct the computational models fitted with the body surface and internal structures of target person. Our proposed technique can be used to quickly and accurately construct various personalized computational models.
