Biomedical Applications Of Electromagnetic Field Simulations
Ensuring that all new devices meet regulatory and certification requirements is a necessity. Remcom's EM simulation tools can greatly speed the design and certification process by allowing realistic simulations of the device performance before the costly prototyping stage.
Analysis options are both device-oriented, such as tuning, and bio-interaction related, including SAR. Realistic, posable human body models are available in addition to CAD-based SAM phantom.

Calculation of Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields
Bio-Pro is a specialty version of XFdtd that provides accurate predictions of the interaction of electromagnetic fields with biological tissues. Analysis options are both device-oriented, such as tuning, and bio-interaction-related, including SAR. Realistic human body models are available in addition to a CAD-based SAM phantom.
Biological Thermal Sensor
XF's enhanced Thermal Sensor allows metals and other non-biological objects to be included in the temperature rise computation. The calculations are based on Penne’s Bio-Heat equation and consider the effects of conductive heat transfer between thermally connected materials, blood perfusion, metabolic processes, and general RF heating.
Other capabilities of XFdtd Bio-Pro include:
- Calculation of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) including whole body, 1 gram, and 10 gram averages.
- VariPose Mesh Repositioning
- MATLAB® Export Functionality
- Birdcage Tool
- Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
- MR-related Output Types (MR Transmit Efficiency and Approximate MR Image)
