We have adopted the TPD (thermal pulse decay) technique for determining the conductivity and blood perfusion of living tissue in vivo by using a self-heated sphere thermistor probe, which is based on the classical bioheat equation suggested by Pennes. This paper intends to discuss conduction in living tissue, to provide foundamental information for clinical medicine, and to extend application of the trapping probe measuring method.
