Analysis of heat transport on local thermal non-equilibrium in porous liver during microwave ablation

Theoretical evaluation of the treatment effectiveness of a novel coaxial multi-slot antenna for conformal microwave ablation of tumors

“…The electromagnetic wave propagating in the system is the time-varying transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave [16]. The vector wave equation is inferred from Maxwell's equation as [39]:…”

“…The cancer cells are heated above 52°C which leads to their immediate death during the MWA process [9][10][11][12][13][14]. The goal of MWA is to create heat in the cancerous tissue without damaging surrounding normal tissue [15,16].…”

Theoretical analysis of coupled thermal and denaturation processes in living tissues subject to a uniform surface heating condition

“…In this direction, Gupta et al [5] incorporated in their numerical analysis a linear variation of the metabolic heat with the temperature. In the same context, Keangin and co-workers [34,35] studied numerically the intersticial microwave ablation (MWA), using an electromagnetic microwave coaxial antenna for treating cancerous tumors with localized heating. They included the influence of temperature on physical and biological properties (thermal conductivity, blood perfusion, electrical conductivity).…”

The numerical assessment of volume averaging method in heat transfer modeling of tissue-like porous media

“…One of these differences is the absence or presence of perfusion term in blood and tissue energy equations, and the other is the consideration of blood as the integrated fluid phase or separated arterial and venous phases. Accordingly, the porous mediabased studies of living tissue heat transfer can be categorized into four groups: two equation models without perfusion term [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], two equation models with perfusion term [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], three equation models without perfusion term [27,28], and three equation models with perfusion [29][30][31]. For better understanding and evaluation of these important differences, this paper establishes a vascular tissue with cylindrical geometry and relative anatomical similarity to human muscle tissues.…”
