Abstract
A whole-body heat balance model during hyperthermia is developed. In the model, local temperature is calculated using a finite-element model. The perfusion blood, along with its energy, is circulated to the rest of the body, where the heat dissipation is calculated using lumped segments. With this model the effects of the electromagnetic power dosage on the body core temperature and the responses of other body elements are analysed for the human thoracic hyperthermia.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
