Computer modeling of tumor hyperthermia (a dynamic lumped parameter model).
The thermal behavior of normal and neoplastic tissue is modeled by a set of coupled ordinary differential equations. The equations lump the tissue and tumor into individual compartments, so that the equations are time dependent. These equations represent an initial step in the development of a comprehensive model which may be used in studying the dynamics and control of the system under normo- and hyperthermic conditions.
