Abstract :
The noninvasive reconstruction of inner heat source and temperature field in biological body is a very important and difficult problem in bio-heat transfer. In this paper, the application both simplified model of Pennes bio-heat transfer equation and boundary element method to the calculation of inner heat source and temperature field in biological body only by the surface temperature distribution was discussed. The inner heat source and temperature field in biological tissue were noninvasive reconstructed as an example.
