Abstract
The thermal response of human tissues exposed to a focused beam terahertz electromagnetic radiation is evaluated through a combined analytical electromagnetic wave solution and a step-by-step finite element numerical model, which solves Pennes’ bioheat equation. The computational procedure is applied to a three-layer model of the human tissues for wave frequencies ranging from 0.025 THz to 1 THz and compared with a more detailed five-layer model. The effects of the Gaussian beam parameters of the electromagnetic radiation on the temperature elevation are finally evaluated.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
