combination of steady state and sinusoidal power to a thermis- tor probe which is inserted into the tissue of interest. The.
Self-heated spherical thermistors, partially embedded in an insulator, are used to simultaneously heat tissue and measure the resulting temperature rise. The ...
These measurements are used to calculate the effective thermal conductivity which represents both the conductive and convective components of bioheat transfer.

In this paper, the model is used to examine the relationships between self-heated thermistor measurements and perfusion in the canine kidney cortex. Second, the ...
A small artery model (SAM) for self-heated thermistor measurements of perfusion in the canine kidney is developed based on the anatomy of the cortex.
A microcomputer based instrument to measure effective thermal conductivity and diffusivity at the surface of a tissue has been developed using self-heated ...
The transient method is used with a self-heated thermistor at constant temperature increment. Tissue blood flow and thermal conductivity are determined by ...
The applied power to the self-heated thermistor is dissipated into the tissue medium. Tissue can conduct heat either by intrinsic thermal conduction or ...
