Abstract
Image‐based virtual human models are crucial for accurately assessing electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. However, con-ventional 3D female models often inadequately represent the chest area, particularly the natural shape of the breast, due tolimitations in imaging posture. This study presents a novel methodological approach to generate anatomically realistic femalemodels, addressing a critical gap in EMF exposure simulation of female chest. We developed an improved breast model withnatural upright geometry and integrated it into an existing whole‐body virtual human. This enhanced model was tested in tworepresentative exposure scenarios, radiofrequency plane wave and low‐frequency magnetic stimulation, to evaluate the dosimetricimpact of realistic upright breast anatomy. Our results reveal significant differences in localized field distributions compared toconventional models, underscoring the importance of anatomical accuracy in EMF simulations. These findings have broaderimplications for exposure assessment in regulatory, occupational, and clinical contexts, supporting the need for more anatomicallyfaithful modeling in computational dosimetry| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
