Abstract :
ln this paper, the relationship between surface temperature distribution and internal heat source size of the in-vitro tissue was discussed. The method of obtaining internal heat source information from surface temperature distribution will promote the application of thermography. Through approximation, the relationship between surface temperature distribution and internal beat source size of the in-vitro tissue was induced. The reasonability of the approximation was validated by the high match degree between the template generated by the approximation solution and the practical surface temperature distribution.
