The Visible Human Project male CAD based computational phantom and its use in bioelectromagnetic simulations

Use of numerical simulation tools to provide qualitative estimates on electromagnetic safety, characterize antenna performance for WBAN applications and facilitate ground breaking research on diagnostic and therapeutic bioelectrical solutions has steadily grown over the past twenty years. However, the accuracy and applicability of such tools are directly proportional to the fidelity of the model used during the simulation. This paper describes the construction of a new CAD based male computational phantom, the Visible Human Project (VHP)-Male model, suitable for use in major commercial electromagnetics simulation packages.
