Abstract
An in vivo temperature control system includes a catheter insertable into a biological lumen; two or more temperature sensors placed such that they can measure a temperature distribution in a longitudinal direction of the biological lumen; a liquid storage section that stores a liquid; and a control section that estimates a spatial change in the biological lumen based on a temperature change before and after the liquid in the liquid storage section is released outwardly through the catheter, wherein the temperature change is measured by each of two or more temperature sensors.
