Thermophysical and mechanical properties of biological tissues as a function of temperature: a systematic literature review

CONCLUSIONS: The thermophysical properties of soft tissues appear rather constant until 90 °C, with slight differences ascribable to tissues characteristics and measurement methods. Conversely, the information on mechanical properties is heterogeneous because most of the articles investigated different types of properties in different biological tissues. Furthermore, most of the experiments were conducted ex vivo; only a small percentage concerned in vivo studies. Limited recent information about the temperature dependence of metabolic heat and blood perfusion was observed.PMID:35129046 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2022.2028908
