| Abstract | In the last three decades, the use of devices that emit electromagnetic fields (EMF) has increased dramatically. The proliferation of EMF devices has been accompanied by concern about ensuring the safety of their use. An important segment of the EMF research that looks after the biological effects of EMF is dosimetry which correlates external electric fields with those within tissues. Better methods are needed to properly measure, extrapolate or relate effects observed in animals to those expected to be found in people. The resulting data could lead to modification of existing safety standards or setting of new safety standards. Accurate dosimetry represents an essential element of the research in determining the biological effects of electromagnetic fields. In the present paper, an overview over currently used experimental and numerical dosimetry methods in bioelectromagnetics research are given. | |
| Summary | V zadnjih desetletjih se z izjemno hitrim razvojem novih tehnologij človekovo naravno in bivalno okolje temeljito spreminjata. Zaradi naraščanja števila naprav, ki so vir elekfromagentnih sevanj (EMS), pa je med prebivalstvom vse bolj razširjen tudi strah pred morebitnimi negativnimi vplivi. Pomemben element raziskav o vplivu EMS na organizme je dozimetrija, ki preučuje absorpcijo energije v biološki sistemu. Natančna dozimetrija pomaga raziskovalcem pri ponovitvah poizkusov Računalniški modeli in numerične metode za oceno lokalizirane in telesne stopnje specifične absorpcije (SAR) se uporabljajo kot pripomoček pri načrtovanju številnih elektronskih naprav Pričujoči članek podaja pregled metod eksperimentalne in numerične dozimetrije, ki jih uporabljamo v raziskavah v bioelektromagnetiki. | |
