Abstract:
Purpose: The aim of this study is to contrast the coupling algorithm (CEE) and boundary heat exchange coefficients (Nu) used in treatment of the large blood vessel in thermal ablation. Methods: Based on the Pennes bioheat transfer equation, the models with blood vessel parallel to microwave antenna were built with finite element method. In two kind of simulation, blood flow rate was set in 0.2 m/s or boundary heat exchange coefficients was set in 1750 W / (m2 center dot degrees C), respectively. Results and conclusions : There was no significant difference on shape of effective ablation areas and 54 degrees C temperature contours by using two kinds of simulation methods, especially the place far away from the blood vessel. At the place near the blood vessel, the method of CEE is closer to real condition which considers directivity of blood. What's more, there are higher temperature by using method of Nu inside effective ablation areas.
