Temperature depth profiles maintained by the 5×4 DCC array of R-TBSA for a range of bulk blood perfusion rate that bracket moderate to severe perfusion inside the tumor target. Normal tissues surrounding the tumor target were maintained at moderate perfusion (2 kg/m3/s) in all simulations. Thermal simulations were carried out for a 42 °C water bolus and 4 L/min bolus flow rate. The ability to heat deeper inside the tumor target is limited by tumor perfusion.
