Predicting effects of blood flow rate and size of vessels in a vasculature on hyperthermia treatments using computer simulation

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Pennes Bio Heat Transfer Equation (PBHTE) has been widely used to approximate the overall temperature distribution in tissue using a perfusion parameter term in the equation during hyperthermia treatment. In the similar modeling, eff...
