The impact of thermally significant blood vessels in perfused tumor tissue on thermal dose distributions during thermal therapies

Influence of blood vessel on the thermal lesion formation during radiofrequency ablation for liver tumors

“…The combination of these studies has not been reported. Shih et al [26][27][28] used ideal external power source, and heating domain was assigned in parallel to single blood vessel which are significant differences as compared to this study.…”

Temperature response in biological tissue by alternating heating and cooling modalities with sinusoidal temperature oscillation on the skin

“…For numerical simulation, this study employs the thermal properties of tissue based on the previous research [5]. The density of tissue is 1050 kg/m 3 , the specific heat capacities of tissue and blood are 3770 J/kg/°C, the thermal conductivity of tissue is 0.5 W/m/°C, and the corresponding perfusion rate ranges from 0 to 3 kg/m 3 /s.…”

“…For example, Torvi and Dale [3] used a finite element model to predict skin temperature and times to second and third degree burns subjected to a flash fire. More recently, Shih et al [4,5] used the Pennes model to explore the effect on thermal dose distribution in consideration of effective tissue conductivity and thermally significant blood vessels during thermal therapies.…”

A Thermofluid Analysis of the Magnetic Nanoparticles Enhanced Heating Effects in Tissues Embedded with Large Blood Vessel during Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia

“…Various researchers [16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24] had already studied the effect of thermal condition developed within the tumor in the presence of large or small blood vessel using either numerical or theoretical way, but very few studies have been done till now, considering the variation of different important parameters like volumetric distribution, vascular congestion, and so forth. Since selection of these parameters is very important from the efficacy point of view of MFH, a rigorous study is essential for this.…”
