Abstract
The FR2 frequency band (millimeter waves) has already been used by the mobile industry to meet the requirements of modern 5G networks. From an EMF exposure perspective, skin is the organ that is dominantly exposed to this radiation and, consequently, needs to be studied. In this work, a method for the construction of 3D realistic human skin models, intended to be used for dosimetry assessment, is presented. The method, which is based on optical coherent tomography and ultrasound data, enables individualized skin dosimetry. Preliminary results show a larger variation of dosimetric quantities in the realistic models compared to the largely used planar ones.
