Abstract：

Theoretical　work　has　shown　that　blood　flow　plays　an　important　role　in　determining　temperature　profiles　of　heated　tissues.　And　in　the　complex　blood　network,　the　construction　of　branching　vessels　is　the　most　important.　In　this　paper,　an　experimental　study　on　the　effects　of　branching　vessels　on　temperature　distribution　was　performed.　The　experiment　was　implemented　in　a　muscle-equivalent　microwave　phantom　instead　of　liver　tissue,　because　they　have　similar　electric　characteristics.　We　investigated　the　effect　on　temperature　distribution　of　different　blood　velocities,　and　provided　a　academic　gist　for　compensatory　measure　in　clinic.　©　2007　IEEE.
