Schematic of the heel tissue and the computational domain for three lesion depths. (a) Cross section of the heel with aa’ as the projection of the computational domain. (b) Computational domain (across section aa’) with tissue layers and the DTI lesion. DTI lesion at depth (c) h₁=8 mm (in the fat and muscle layer), (d) h₂=6 mm (in the fat layer) and (e) h₃=3.8 mm (in the fat layer and reticular dermis). Lesion dimensions: d₁ = 1.5 cm, d₂ = 0.25 cm.
