Interface temperature profiles are also obtained based on the continuity of temperature and heat flux through...

... distribution in the tumor under hyperthermic conditions. Results show that hyperthermia alone only enhances drug accumulation in the periphery of a tumor with 1 cm in radius, and the tumor cells in the central region are hardly damaged due to poor drug diffusion. Apoptosis or necrosis of the tumor cells could...

...Cuiye Chen; Lisa X. Xu Isolated pig kidney has been widely used as a perfused organ phantom in the studies of hyperthermia treatments, as blood perfusion plays an essential role in thermoregulation of living tissues. In this research, a vascular model was built to describe heat transfer...
