If you want to model heterogeneous values, you will need to use <code>kWaveDiffusion</code>.</p> <p>Brad. </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/perfusion-value-in-bioheatexact#post-7695 Thu, 09 Jul 2020 13:05:01 +0000 renardChien 7695@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>I am confused about the perfusion value of the Bioheatexact() function. The function seems to accept a constant value, a 1x3 (x,y,z) array, and a 3D (x,y,z) matrix. For HIFU, the heat maps in a plane perpendicular to the HIFU beam are always symmetrical. I want to input a perfusion value and have the heat map shape change in the direction of fluid flow. Can you provide any additional information that will help me implement this feature? </p>
