| Summary: | <p>The paper deals with biomedical modeling in general and in particular how modeling techniques can be used to improve the training of clinical practitioners in the use of new medical devices. The Bioheat Equation is given as an example to show how, even though mathematical models are based on complex equations, the terms of the equations represent phenomena which can be intuitively understood. The paper also describes examples in which mathematical modeling was used to study the performance of medical devices, especially those related with radiofrequency ablation.</p> |
