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.
