Background Detailed information on the temperature dependence of tissue thermophysical
and mechanical properties is pivotal for the optimal implementation of mathematical models …

Specific heat capacities cp of different healthy and tumorous tissues (liver, lung, prostate)
were measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The obtained values range …

Thermal properties of ex vivo bovine liver were measured as a function of temperature, by
heating tissue samples in a temperature-controlled oil bath over a temperature range from …

Understanding thermal transport and temperature distribution within biological organs is
important for therapeutic aspects related to hyperthermia treatments such as radiofrequency …

Accurate numerical calculation of the thermal profile in humans requires reliable estimates
of the following five tissue properties: specific heat capacity (c), thermal conductivity (k) …

In this paper, we present our experimental results on the determination of the thermal
conductivity of biological tissues using a transient technique based on the principles of the …

The application of supraphysiological temperatures (> 40 C) to biological tissues causes
changes at the molecular, cellular, and structural level, with corresponding changes in tissue …

The ability to predict heat transfer during hyperthermal and ablative techniques for cancer
treatment relies on understanding the thermal properties of biological tissue. In this work, the …

This paper reports empirical formulas, enthalpies of formation, molar entropies, Gibbs
energies of formation, and molar heat capacities at 25° C and 37° C for human soft tissues …

The purpose of this review is to summarise a literature survey on thermal thresholds for
tissue damage. This review covers published literature for the consecutive years from 2002 …
