a The ex vivo experimental setup: the artery is surrounded by the phantom; the thread with the white tip is the thermocouple with polyimide tube insulation; b the evolution of the temperature of the internal and the external surface of the diseased artery sample (average temperature ± SD, n = 3): outer represents the measured temperature of the outer surface. Internal sample 1, Internal sample 2 and Internal sample 3 represent the temperature of the inner surfaces of three samples
