Micro Abstract:
The underlying research project aims to improve cancer diagnosis by determining the correlation between the locally increased heat production of hyper-perfused cancerous tissue and the body surface temperature distribution, measurable using thermography. In this work, a preliminary experimental study of the detectability of an embedded heat source in a perfused solid by means of thermography is presented. Furthermore, the suitability of different mathematical modelling approaches is studied.
