General hyperthermia—Current status of the conceptual-theoretical basis

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Different approaches to the physicomathematical description of the thermophysics and rheodynamics of blood flow in living, externally heated biotissues are considered, analyzed, and compared. Our own model is suggested that allows for the influence of the rheological factor on the spatial-temporal evolution of temperature and hydrodynamic fields in normal and tumor biotissues subjected to the effect of shf electromagnetic fields.
