Summary
Heat transfer plays a vital role in living systems as it can help us in understanding of life processes. To survive in extreme thermal environment such as in deep sea or out in space, designing a special gear for safety is of importance. Heat transfer has also many therapeutic applications that involve in either raising of lowering of temperature, such as cryosurgery, hyperthermia, hypothermia, laser ablation etc. Heat transfer analysis can be used to obtain the information about the alterations of blood flow. Many new thermal analysis techniques have been developed to detect microvessel tone from skin temperature. All of the above examples are based on bioheat transfermodeling in micro and macro scales.
The special issue is aimed at presenting the most recent developments and research efforts in the field of bioheat transfer in micro and macro scales, in order to provide the advances of scientific knowledge in this field and pave the way for innovative clinical applications of early diagnosis and treatment.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:
* Hyper- and hypo-thermia in biology
* Biopreservation
* Thermal therapies
* Cryosurgery
* Thermal comfort of human body
* Tumor detections
* Heat transfer analysis for blood flow measurement
* Nanoparticles and magnetic hyperthermia
