This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative guide to theory and applications of heat transfer in humans Theory and Applications of Heat Transfer in Humans 2V Set offers a reference to the field of heating and cooling of tissue, and associated damage. The author—a noted expert in the field—presents, in this book, the fundamental physics and physiology related to the field, along with some of the recent applications, all in one place, in such a way as to enable and enrich both beginner and advanced readers. The book provides a basic framework that can be used to obtain ‘decent’ estimates of tissue temperatures for various applications involving tissue heating and/or cooling, and also presents ways to further develop more complex methods, if needed, to obtain more accurate results. The book is arranged in three sections: The first section, named ‘Physics’, presents fundamental mathematical frameworks that can be used as is or combined together forming more complex tools to determine tissue temperatures; the second section, named ‘Physiology’, presents ideas and data that provide the basis for the physiological assumptions needed to develop successful mathematical tools; and finally, the third section, named ‘Applications’, presents examples of how the marriage of the first two sections are used to solve problems of today and tomorrow. This important text is the vital resource that: Offers a reference book in the field of heating and cooling of tissue, and associated damage. Provides a comprehensive theoretical and experimental basis with biomedical applications Shows how to develop and implement both, simple and complex mathematical models to predict tissue temperatures Includes simple examples and results so readers can use those results directly or adapt them for their applications Designed for students, engineers, and other professionals, a comprehensive text to the field of heating and cooling of tissue that includes proven theories with applications. The author reveals how to develop simple and complex mathematical models, to predict tissue heating and/or cooling, and associated damage.

Download or read book Experimental and Modeling Study of Thermal Response of Skin and Cornea to Infrared Wavelengths Laser Irradiation written by Bo Chen and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lasers pose a safety hazards both to skin and particularly to something you value highly - your vision. The increasingly widespread use of IR wavelengths laser systems requires awareness with the potential hazards associated with the misuse of these valuable products. The principal goal of this research is to integrate experimental and theoretical descriptions of thermal response of skin and cornea to IR wavelength laser irradiation to yield a basis for the dosimetry of laser-tissue interaction. The threshold radiant exposures for various spot sizes and exposure durations were investigated on in vivo skin and cornea for 2.0 [mu]m laser irradiation. Similar study was also conducted on in vivo skin using 1.214 [mu]m laser and compared with 2.0 [mu]m results. This PhD study has, for the first time, linked temperature response, histopathology, and the more common "minimal visible lesion (MVL)" endpoint into what can be a meaningful comparison of rate process models for injury. Based on experimental data, a finite-element optical-thermal-damage model was developed. Histological damage was measured and modeled using sub-threshold, threshold, and super-threshold 2.0 [mu]m laser powers. The data provided experimental evidence of the correlation of sub-threshold histological change to visible threshold lesion for the irradiation condition of this study. Moreover, the computer model, supported by experimental validation, ensured that rate process models were used correctly in the prediction of "MVL" thresholds which were based upon a finite damage extent and not necessarily central surface layer damage. Thermal image method was employed to measure the absorption coefficient of in vivo skin at 2.0 [mu]m, at which wavelength scattering can be ignored. At laser wavelengths below 1.4 [mu]m where scattering cannot be ignored, an ameliorative method was explored to measure absorption and reduce scattering of in vivo tissue by combining pulse photothermal radiometry (PPTR) and diffuse reflectance (DR) measurements.
