Abstract

A new algorithm for simultaneously identifying the space or temperature dependent conductivity K, blood perfusion rate Wb, metabolic rate qm, and thermal diffusibility alpha in Pennes' equation is postulated. The obtained over determined equations are solved by way of Householder's transformation. The validity of the method is tested through an example.
