Development of Methodologies for the Noninvasive Estimation of Blood Perfusion

This work focuses on the development of a system to noninvasively estimate blood perfusion using thermal methods. This is accomplished by the combination of a bioprobe, biothermal model, and parameter estimation techniques. The probe consists of a heat flux sensor and surface thermocouple placed i...
