Resumen:
In non-invasive thermal diagnostics, accurate correlations between the thermal
image on skin surface and interior human pathophysiology are often desired, which
require general solutions for the bioheat equation. In this paper, a dierence scheme
for the Pennes with a space-dependent thermal physiological parameters and convec-
tive boundary condition on the top surface, was used to approximate the solution.
Details computations indicated that the thermal states of biological bodies, reect-
ing physiology conditions, could be correlated to the temperature mapping recorded
at the skin surface. The eect of the skin emisity, the convective heat transfer coef-
cient and the temperature of the sourranding air, the metabolic rate and the blood
perfusion rate in the tumor, and the tumor size and number on the sensitivity of
the thermography are comprehensivily investigated. Moreover the inverse problems
consisting in the simultaneous estimation of unknow geometrical parameters (loca-
tion size) of the tumor are solved. On the stage of numerical solution th
