Laser Irradiation of a Tumor

This is a tutorial model on how to build and solve a 2D model using the Bioheat Equation application mode. The model comes from the field of medical electronics and describes how a laser beam can irradiate a cancerous tumor. The laser irradiation heats the malignant tissue sufficiently to kill the tumor’s cells.
