Abstract

In some clinical applications pulsating currents are delivered into a body region for therapeutic purposes. In this paper we analyze the generated thermal field with the aim of determining the amplitude, period and duration of those stimuli, guaranteeing that the temperature of the interested tissue stays below the necrosis threshold.
