Abstract: A new model of steady-state heat transport in perfused tissue is presented. The key elements of the model are as follows: (1) a physiologically-based algorithm for simulating the geometry of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a three-dimensional analysis of the temperature field around a pair of countercurrent arteries and veins embedded in an infinite tissue that has an arbitrary temperature ...

Abstract: We have conducted a parametric comparison of three different vascular models for describing heat transport in tissue. Analytical and numerical methods were used to predict the gross temperature ...

Abstract: The theoretical basis, practical design considerations, and prototype testing of a perfused model suitable for simulation studies of microwave heated tissue are presented. A parallel tube heat ...

Abstract: We develop analytical expressions (scaling laws) for the local temperature fluctuations near isolated and countercurrent blood vessels during hyperthermia. These scaling laws relate the magnitude ...
