- •
We model scalp cooling for prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia.
- •
We analyze the interaction of external cooling sources with the human scalp tissue.
- •
We quantify cooling energy requirements needed for successful therapy.
- •
We quantify the tissue hypothermia achieved by different cooling devices.
- •
Tissue temperatures are analyzed in the context of this specific application.
