Abstract: A device for measuring a temperature at one or more locations in an organ or tissue inside the human or animal body, a related kit and a related method. The device includes a catheter tube having a distal end for inserting into the body and a proximal end for remaining outside the body in use of the device, and at least one resistive temperature sensor in the tube, and a plurality of electrical wires in the tube that are connected to the at least one resistive temperature sensor. The plurality of electrical wires includes at least some electrical wires running from the proximal end of the tube through the tube. The device includes a connector at the proximal end of the tube for electrically connecting the plurality of electrical wires to an external device. The resistive temperature sensor includes a thermal resistor and a first terminal and a second terminal.

Abstract: A method for simulating temperatures in the body when in a controllable environment. The method includes receiving a property of the body obtained by measurements, calculating a body-specific parameter of a bioheat model based on the property, obtaining at least one environment-specific parameter, and calculating the temperatures in the body by solving the model taking the body-specific and environment-specific parameters into account. The equivalent thermal circuit of the model includes a blood compartment and a plurality of anatomical segments, each including a plurality of compartments. The interior compartments of a trunk segment include organ compartments representative of different internal organs, which are connected in parallel in the equivalent thermal circuit. This also relates to a device, system and computer-program product.
