Inverse Time-Dependent Perfusion Coefficient Identification

The identification of the time-dependent perfusion coefficient in the transient bioheat conduction equation is investigated. In this inverse coefficient identification problem, the additional measurement necessary to render a unique solution may be a heat flux, interiortem perature or mass measurement which is taken permanently along the time interval of interest. A numerical approach based on the boundary element and mollification methods is developed. Numerical results are presented and discussed
