ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present the Projection
Based Interpolation (PBI) technique for construction of continuous approximation
of MRI scan data of the human head. We utilize the result of the PBI algorithm
to perform three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations of
the heating of the human head induced by cell phone. In particular, we utilize
the Pennes equation to describe the bioheat transfer with the right hand side
representing the heat generated by cell phone. We utilize our own
non-stationary time dependent multi-thread parallel direct solver for the solution
of this computational problem. From our numerical results it follows that 15
minutes (1000 seconds) exposure to the cell phone radiation implies up to 2
degrees Celsius increase of the temperature of the brain in the range close to
the cell phone.
