Abstract

Electromagnetic (EM) waves are being used in a wide range of applications in health monitoring, disease diagnosis and therapy. Such approaches increasingly rely on joined electromagnetic and thermal modelling for their development and optimization. A key hurdle in these simulations are gaps in, or absence of, the knowledge on thermal tissue properties. In this paper, we review the current status quo in thermal modelling with respect to the models and tissue properties used, including thermoregulation tissue properties. In addition, we review methods to obtain quantitative and reliable thermal and thermoregulation tissue properties, and suggest technology improvements that could solve the thermal tissue property gap aimed at advancing electromagnetic medical technologies.
