Abstract

Over the past years, an increase in the amount of the electromagnetic sources could be observed. Model presented in this article is limited to the impact of low frequency fields generated by the e.g. electrical power lines or magnetic coils in a bone fractures therapy. Particularly, the effect of the magnetic component of the electromagnetic field on stents will be evaluated. The conductivity of human tissues will be investigated. Yielded results will be used to simplify complicated, three-dimensional problem of the current distribution in stent branches, to one-dimensional one. The merits of the paper is proposing, implementing and using for analysis a numerical model of the stent in magnetic field. The impact of frequency and positioning of stent in the magnetic field will be investigated and current distributions found.
