(a) Schematic of the partial arterial vessel network. All seven vessel levels (level 1 to level 7) are shown. The venous network is parallel to the arterial network. (b) A transparent view of a parallelepiped showing the internal heated tumor region, which is a cubic volume of 20 mm by 20 mm by 20 mm. The level 1 largest blood vessel is running through the volume's edge from location (42, 40, 40) mm to location (62, 40, 40) mm. The original point is located at the southeastern corner when facing the x = 0 plane. (c) The locations of the cubic volume in a parallelepiped by indicating its 8 corners' coordinate. The units are millimeters (mm).
