High-resolution
heterogeneous human body models are used increasingly in field calculations
for MRI engineering and safety assurance. In this study, we modified six
currently available male and female models and adapt to commercial
finite-difference time-domain software. Calculations show that the human body
shape and position have big effect on SAR distribution.
