Abstract

We have developed a thermal model in which blood vessels are described as geometrical objects, 3D curves with associated diameters. Here the behaviour of the model is examined for low resolutions compared with the vessel diameter and for strongly curved vessels. The tests include a single straight vessel and vessels describing the path of a helix embedded in square tissue blocks. The tests show the excellent behaviour of our discrete vessel implementation
