This paper presents finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) calculations of the specific absorption rate (SAR) in realistic head models from exposure to a generic handset working as 1750 Mhz. The head models with different sizes were obtained from the same whole-body model. The purpose of this work is to study whether there is a variation of SAR absorption in the same brain, but the sizes of head models are different. The obtained peak SARs in each of the tissues were averaged over 10 grams of tissue in the shape of cube. It was found that the SAR absorption in human brain is dependent on the size of the head model. The induced SAR in brain tissues in smaller head model is larger than that in larger head model. It suggested that the mobile phone dosimetric analysis in most of the previous literatures which only considered head model in the simulation may overestimate the brain exposure compared to the practical situation that the whole-body exposed to the fields radiated by the mobile phone.

Stimulation of deeper brain structures by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) plays a role in the study of reward and motivation mechanisms, which may be beneficial in the treatment of several neurological and psychiatric disorders. This paper presents numerical simulation of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) by considering double cone, H-, Halo- and multiple concentric circular (MCC) coils. 3D distributions of the induced electric fields in realistic head models were calculated by impedance method and the results were compared with that of figure-of-eight (fo8) coil. Simulation results show that double cone and H-coils have significantly deep field penetration at the expense of induced higher and wider spread electrical fields in superficial cortical regions. The combination of Halo-coil with a conventional circular coil at the top of the head produce deeply penetrating electric field the same as double cone and H-coils, but the stimulation in superficial brain tissues are much lower. The MCC coils provide a flexible way to stimulate deep brain regions with improved focality.

This paper presents numerical simulation of transcranial magnetic stimulation by employing figure-of-eight coil (fo8) with bending wings. Various fo8 coils with different bending angles were numerically designed. Three-dimensional distributions of the magnetic fields and induced electric fields in realistic head model were calculated by impedance method. Results were compared with those obtained from standard fo8 coil. Results show that either stimulation depth or focality is easily adjusted by changing the bending angle of coil wings. The fo8 coil with flexible folding wings can be served for providing controllable stimulation depth and focality in TMS applications.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation could provide new, non-invasive therapeutic options for various psychiatric and neurological disorders. In this work, we study the dependence of induced electric fields on working fre...

This paper presents numerical simulation of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) by considering double cone, H- and Halo coils. Three-dimensional distributions of the induced electric fields in realistic head model by dTMS coils were calculated by impedance method and the results were compared with that of standard figure-of-eight coil. Simulation results show that double cone and H-coils have significantly deep field penetration at the expense of induced higher and wider spread electrical fields in superficial cortical regions.

Stimulation of deeper brain structures by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be beneficial in the treatment of several neurological and psychiatric disorders. This paper presents numerical simulation of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) by considering double cone, H-and Halo coils. Three-dimensional distributions of the induced fields i.e. magnetic flux density, current density and electric fields in realistic head model by dTMS coils were calculated by impedance method and the results were compared with that of figure-of-eight coil. It was found that double cone and H-coils have significantly deep field penetration at the expense of induced higher and wider spread electrical fields in superficial cortical regions. The Halo coil working with a circular coil carrying currents in opposite directions provides a flexible way to stimulate deep brain structures with much lower stimulation in superficial brain tissues.
