Abstract
The role of arterial and venous blood thermal interaction on surface tissue temperature of female breast is investigated.
The analytical results of the physical model for arterio-venous counter-current heat exchange are presented graphically. They
indicate in general that the central breast temperature is lower than the rest of the breast. Also, the results shed light
on the role of deep tissues physiological condition on the surface temperature distribution of female breast.
