Mathematical techniques for the estimation of the diffusion coefficient and elimination constant of agents in subcutaneous tissue

The purpose of this work was to develop methods to estimate the diffusion coefficient and elimination constant for dexamethasone in subcutaneous tissue. Solutions to the diffusion equation were found for different conditions relevant to implantation and injection. These solutions were then used as m...
