Abstract:
Several closed form analytical solutions to the bioheat transfer problems with space or transient heating on skin surface or inside biological bodies were obtained using Green's function method. The solutions were applied to study several selected typical bioheat transfer processes, which are often encountered in cancer hyperthermia, laser surgery, thermal comfort analysis, and tissue thermal parameter estimation. Thus a straightforward way to quantitatively interpret the temperature behavior of living tissues subject to constant, sinusoidal, step, point or stochastic heatings etc. both in volume and on boundary were established. Further solution to the three-dimensional bioheat transfer problems was also given to illustrate the versatility of the present method. Implementations of this study to the practical problems were addressed.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant...
