Abstract
The objective of this study was to devise an interactive tool to assist in
cryoablation therapy through computer modeling, simulation, and visualization.
CryoSim, a software package, accepts a set of acquired and processed
three-dimensional ultrasound images, then models heat diffusion (formation of
the iceball) based on numerical approximation of the heat equation and
knowledge of the thermal properties of the underlying tissues. Results of
cryoexperiments were found to be significantly similar to those generated by
CryoSim. Therefore, CryoSim provides a viable technique for predicting the
outcome of cryosurgery, and establishes a platform for future automation of
cryosurgery.
