Abstract

Temperature elevation in the fetus is of concern for excess heat load, including that from radio-frequency exposure. No previous study succeeded in simulating the temperature difference between the mother and fetus. This study develops a thermal model for a pregnant woman, and then applies it to simulate the temperature variations due to ambient heat exposure and RF exposure. When the pregnant woman model is exposed to ambient temperature of 35–45°C, the core temperature elevations in the mother and the fetus are almost identical. Contrarily, the fetal temperature elevation for radio-frequency exposure is higher than that in the mother.
