title: Exact solutions to the multiregion time-dependent bioheat equation. II: Numerical evaluation of the solutions.
abstract: Analytic solutions to the time-dependent multiregion bioheat equation are evaluated numerically for cartesian and spherical models. Principle and alternate branch contributions to the solutions are examined. The calculations include a parametric investigation and analyses of temperature behaviour in idealised upper thigh and tumour models.
