Predicted intratumoral temperature profiles. A Visualization of the predicted surface temperatures in the tumors with or without the nanoparticle injection exposed to 2 W, 4.5 W, and 7 W 808 nm wavelength laser. B The average predicted tumor surface temperature across, with and without CNTs, over 120 s with exposure to the 808 nm wavelength laser. C The 3D temperature distribution of the tumor upon photothermal ablation of CNT injected conditions, across the three laser power outputs. D Sectional illustration depicting a 10 mm cross-section of data points through the intratumoral space together with the graphical representation of 4.5 W and 7 W, in the presence and absence of CNTs. E Section illustration depicting data points, 1 mm, 2 mm, and 4 mm adjacent to the tumor mass together with graphical representation, of temperature over the 9 mm distance from the surface
