however, the currents that are induced in the body, called eddy currents, most commonly
circulate about the cross sections of the anatomy, with the greater magnitudes being at
the outer periphery of the body, near the surface. These circulating currents tend not to
exit the body in the same fashion as electric field induced currents and, consequently,
represent a major measurement challenge. Assessments of induced currents should,
however, give consideration to both electric and magnetic field contributions.
