Impact Evaluation of an External Point Source to a Generalized Model of the Human Neck

Abstract

A methodical approach for the effect assessment of an external point source to a non-spherical model of the human neck is presented in this paper. The neck model consists of both multilayered and simple spheres to represent the skin, the fat, the muscle tissues, the thyroid, and the esophagus. This geometry enables the formulation of dyadic Green's functions to accurately calculate the electric fields, considering the suitable surface boundary conditions and the superposition principle. Numerical outcomes for a Hertz dipole (i.e. wireless network antenna) substantiate the benefits of the technique and describe the responsiveness of the neck/thyroid to the selected source.
