ABSTRACT
Dosimetry is used to determine the strength, direction, and polarization of electromagnetic fields. It predicts the dose of the electromagnetic field present at any point inside or outside of the body. For instance, it is used to predict the strength of fields in the head from cell phones to determine if a particular design meets regulatory guidelines, to determine the signal-to-noise ratio (and hence image quality) for coils for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to determine the field strength in experimental setups such as petri dish exposure systems, and many other applications.
