Abstract
Finite difference calculations of the transient radial temperature distribution in living tissue are compared with an analytical solution in which metabolism, blood flow rate, and arterial blood temperature vary with time. The effects of node spacing and integration time interval on the accuracy of the finite difference calculations are investigated.
