Figure 7. Temperature distribution of the spine at the end of stimulation for varied blood perfusion rate of the WM/GM.

Figure 7

(A) The blood perfusion rate of the GM/WM is 0 s−1. (B) The blood perfusion rate of the GM/WM is 0.004 s−1. (C) The blood perfusion rate of the GM/WM is 0.008 s−1. (D) The blood perfusion rate of the GM/WM is 0.012 s−1. Tissues include vertebrae, epidural fat, CSF, WM, and GM. The stimulation intensity is 20 mA, the stimulation electrode side length is 1 cm, and the blood perfusion rate of the dermis is 0.025 s−1. The maximum and minimum temperature values are shown with the corresponding color bars in each panel. Unit: °C.
