From: Investigating the role of capacitive coupling between the operating table and the return electrode of an electrosurgery unit in the modification of the current density distribution within the patients’ body

Figure 2

3D views of isosurfaces obtained at different current density thresholds in the case of conductive table: (a) 1500 A/m2; (b) 800 A/m2; (c) 600 A/m2. The isosurfaces are colored in gray and represented as opaque, while the different tissues of the patient assume different colors and are represented as semi-transparent. The right lateral edges of the mattress and the operating table appear as green and blue horizontal lines. In (a) a yellow dashed circle surrounds the small isosurface located just behind the sacrum.
