A Numerical Method For Obtaining An Optimal Temperature Distribution In A Three-Dimensional Triple-Layered Skin Structure Embedded With Multi-Level Blood Vessels, Xingui Tang
Doctoral Dissertations
The research related to hyperthermia has stimulated a lot of interest in recent years because of its application in cancer treatment. When heating the tumor tissue, the crucial problem is keeping the temperature of the surrounding normal tissue below a certain threshold in order to avoid the damage to the normal tissue. Hence, it is important to obtain the temperature field of the entire region during the treatment. The objective of this dissertation is to develop a numerical method for obtaining an optimal temperature distribution in a 3D triple-layered skin structure embedded with multi-level blood vessels where the surface of …
