Influence of Blood Vessels on Temperature during High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Hyperthermia Based on the Thermal Wave Model of Bioheat Transfer

Figure 1

Geometric configuration of physical model. The tissue containing a large blood vessel, a cylinder with radius of 35 mm and length of 50 mm, is placed at . The blood vessel is at the center of the tissue, is the radius of the blood vessel, and is the distance between ultrasonic focus and central axis of blood vessel. The computational domain is and , abbreviated as .
