pubmed-article:18199898 | pubmed:abstractText | In this work, we develop the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) as a potential solver for the bioheat problems. The accuracy of the present LBM algorithm is validated through comparison with the analytical solution and the finite element simulation. The results show that the LBM can give a precise prediction of the temperature distribution, and it is efficient to deal with the space- and time-dependent heat source, which are often encountered in the treatment planning of tumor hyperthermia. | lld:pubmed |
