Thermal Analysis of Heat Transfer from Catheters and Implantable Devices to the Blood Flow
Implantable devices, ultrasound imaging catheters, and ablation catheters (such as renal denervation catheters) are biomedical instruments that generate heat in the body. The generated heat can be harmful if the body temperature exceeds the limit of almost 315 K. This paper presents a heat-transfer...
