Abstract
Research on heat transfer and temperature distribution in human tissues is significant not only in thermal comfort but it is also applied in modern dermatology. Information about temperature gradients near skin lesions can assist diagnosis of malignant melanoma. The main purpose of this research was to study sensitivity of temperature field on metabolic heat production rate and artery temperature of numerical model of bioheat transfer with active thermoregulation in human forearm. The influence of blood temperature and metabolic heat source on temperature profile in tissues was examined. Numerical results were validated against measurement data. In experiment the cold brass compress was applied on human forearm. Temperature of skin after the mild cooling was measured using IR camera.
