What is it about?
It is about the solution of the non-Fourier dual-phase-lag bioheat transfer equation and the evaluation of thermal damage from the analytical expression of the temperature distribution in biological tissue.

Why is it important?
In some mediums like biological ones, which are internally hetrogeneous, the well-known Fourier heat transfer constituation leads to inaccurate results for the temperature distribution during thermal therapy. Therefore, precise evaluation of the temperature, which is necessary for the treatment, could be achieved employing a non-Fourier models and among them the dual-phase-lag model shows better agreement with experiments.
Perspectives
As this paper gives the exact solution of the dual-phase-lag model, it provides a good tool for future application of the presented solution procedeure for the thermal therapy purposes to have a good estimation of the treatment procedure, if the lag time of the medium are actually available.
