MedFDTD, a new parallel and open-source cross-platform framework for bioelectromagnetics research, has been developed by solving Maxwell's equations using the finite-difference time-domain method. This framework implements the complex-frequency-shifted perfectly matched layer, supports the import of antenna and bioelectromagnetic models through media with non-dispersive/dispersive properties, and can calculate the antenna output power and specific absorption rate of biological tissues, thereby making it favorable for bioelectromagnetics studies. In addition, MedFDTD can be implemented on multiple CPUs or a variety of chip-based GPUs to accelerate all parallel computing tasks.
