Update of IT’IS Tissue Properties Database

ZMT’s partner organization, the IT’IS Foundation, announces the release of its Tissue Properties Database V5.0.

This update introduces water content data – a crucial parameter for accurate thermal modeling – for all major tissues. The new data will enable an update to tissue-specific thermal properties in an upcoming release of the database.

Additionally, the IT’IS Virtual Population team corrected an underestimated blood perfusion constant for lung tissue, which previously excluded pulmonary blood flow. Many thanks to the vigilant Sim4Life user who identified and reported this issue and helped to resolve it!

This new version of the Tissue Properties Database – already included in the latest version Sim4Life V9.0 – offers users enhanced precision and reliability in their modeling results.
