The numerical algorithm based on the multiple reciprocity boundary element method is used for the temperature field computations in the non-homogeneous domain of healthy tissue and the tumor region. The thermophysical parameters of tumor, in particular the perfusion rate, the metabolic heat source and the thermal conductivity are essentially bigger than for healthy tissue. From the mathematical point of view the problem is described by the system of two Poisson's equations supplemented by the adequate boundary conditions. The main subject of the paper is the sensitivity analysis of temperature distribution with respect to the thermal parameters of tumor region and healthy tissue. In the final part of the paper the examples of computations are shown.

The numerical algorithm based on the boundary element method is used for the temperature field computations in the non-homogeneous domain of healthy tissue and the tumor region. Thermophysical parameters of tumor region, in particular the perfusion coefficient and the metabolic heat source are essentially bigger than for healthy tissue. The values of these parameters are assumed to be constant. From the mathematical point of view the problem is described by the system of two Poisson’s equations supplemented by the adequate boundary conditions. The main subject of the paper is the sensitivity analysis of temperature distribution with respect to the constant source functions in the sub-domains considered. In the final part the examples of computations are shown.
