Abstract/Summary This study presents a biconjugate gradient method (BiCG) that can significantly improve the performance of the quasi-static finite-difference scheme, which has been widely used to model field induction phenomena in voxel phantoms. The proposed BiCG method offers remarkable computational advantages in terms of convergence performance and memory consumption over the conventional iterative, successive over-relaxation algorithm. The wide application capability and computational performance of the BiCG method is demonstrated by modelling the exposures of MRI healthcare workers to fields produced by pulsed field gradients, which is presently an important topic of research in light of the Physical Agents Directive 2004/40/EC
