Abstract
With reference to microwave localized hyperthermia, a non-linear model of the thermal behavior of living tissues, where local thermoregulating convective and conducting effects due to blood flow are taken into account, has been assumed. The non-linear operator equation for the space and time temperature distribution, which describes local energy balance (bio-heat equation), has been linearized and solved by using a variant of the Newton iterative method. Numerical calculations for plane stratified structures simulating living bodies, irradiated by plane electromagnetic waves, have been carried out.
