Abstract

Primary intent of this study is development of realistic vascular structure and simulation of the blood perfusion in capillary. It is needed for precise thermal analysis using the modified bio-heat equation to provide better prediction of thermal response of tissues exposed to RF energy then in conventional Pennes model [1]. Particularly, motivation of this paper is to use previously presented modified bioheat equation [2-4] for heat exchange and temperature rise simulation on a realistic human head model.
