Abstract The temperature distribution in a perfused biological tissue is calculated for an instaneous point source. An approximate solution, which is simple enough to be evaluated by means of a hand calculator, is derived from the exact solution. It is expressed in terms of the deviation from an average temperature distribution. In an example, using realistic parameters for blood flow and thermal properties of tissue, the approximate solution differs at most 2% from the exact one.
