TPL_bioheat_model

1-D Three-Phase Lag model

Skin Layers:

epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous

Heat sources:

• blood perfusion (dermis, subcutaneous)
• metabolic heat (all)
• water diffusion (all)
• vaporization (epidermis)
• hyperthermia device (modeled as Gaussian volume, targeted at tumor location)

Scripts

• changing_tau_final.m: Performs the analysis under 'Varying Tau Parameters'
• a0_test_final.m & power_test_final.m: Performs the analysis under 'Varying Targeted Heat Source Parameters'
• skin_layer_comparison.m: Performs the analysis under 'Impact of Skin Layers and Heat Sources'
• main_final.m: Runs the model with optimized parameters
