Objective Thermal parameters of biological tissue are the important indicators for revealing the capacity of thermal heat transport, the capacity of heat-carrying,and bio-heat transfer mechanisms. Thermal conductivity is one of the basic thermal parameters of biological tissue. Methods We completed a real-time reigning measurement and analysis of thermal conductivity of pork lean, fat, and liver by isothermal heating method. First, we selected three kinds of biological tissue and put the heat source in the central position of the selected piece. Then, we defined five temperature observation points far away from the central point differently, and measured the systemic power-time curve and the temperature of each point. Finally, thermal conductivity data of each point were obtained by the MATLAB processing. Results The thermal conductivities of the three tissues were different, and the thermal conductivity of lean pork was the largest, followed by liver and fat. And the thermal conductivities of different positions within the same tissue were similar. Conclusions This study was of great significance for the bio-heat transfer mechanism, the non-destructive temperature reconstruction on tissue, tumor hyperthermia and so on.
