Abstract

Thermal test object(TTO) with embedded single thermocouple and split tissue mimicking material(TMM) measured by infrared image were compared for evaluating temperature rise and position in TMM. The result showed the average of temperature rise in TMM with thickness of 5 (mm) for 3 (min) was similar between both methods. The infrared image with split TMM was useful for evaluating the position of maximum temperature in TMM as well.
