description	A numerical model of an electromagnetic wave, propagating in a chiral media, characterized by the Born-Fedorov formalism, is presented. FDTD numerical method, adapted to chiral media, is used. The classical Yee algorithm, implemented by several authors for non chiral media, does not provide, for the same time instant, knowledge of the transverse field components (both incident and induced by the chirality). This problem is solved by the authors, delaying one of the field components when it incides in the achiral-chiral interface, storing the values corresponding to the times n and n -1, in order to solve for the the field at time n+1. The simulation results of propagating Gaussian pulses in chiral media, in the range of microwaves, show the chiral curl of the polarization plane. The results show that the use of the box model in combination with a realistic model of the head derived of a resonance image, is important for accurate determination of the near chiral fields induced in the head.
