Workshop on Biothermal Engineering; April 22-25, 1990; Urbana, Illinois

由伊利诺伊大学主办的为期三天的生物热工程研讨会将于1990年4月举行。大约50名工程师和生物医学专业人员将听取演讲并积极参与以下主题的讨论：血管解剖学在生物热过程中的作用；血液灌流对热量和质量传递的影响；局部和全身热调节；冻结和解冻过程中的组织行为和损伤；加热过程中的组织行为和损伤；仪器、测量和成像；以及在热疗、烧伤、激光手术、电外科、组织冻结、低温和冷冻外科中的应用。由于生命系统的复杂性，许多与生物医学应用中的热传递有关的重要问题仍然没有研究或完全是经验性的，但也是由于工程界和生物医学界的文化差异。这个研讨会将被用来教育这两个不同的专业，并帮助规划一个单一的、一致的长期研究计划。

A three-day workshop on biothermal engineering is to be held in April, 1990 under the auspices of the University of Illinois. Approximately fifty engineers and biomedical professionals will listen to presentations and actively participate in discussions on the following topics: the role of vascular anatomy in biothermal processes; the effect of blood perfusion on heat and mass transfer; local and whole body thermal regulation; tissue behavior and injury during freezing and thawing; tissue behavior and injury during heating; instrumentation, measurement, and imaging; and applications to hyperthermia, burns, laser surgery, electro surgery, freezing of tissues, hypothermia, and cryosurgery. Many significant issues related to heat transfer with biomedical applications remain unstudied or wholely empirical primarily because of the complexity of living systems, but also due to cultural differences in the engineering and biomedical communities. This workshop is to be used to educate the two distinct professions and to help layout a single, consistent long range research plan.
