چکیده

Cryosurgery has been consistently used as an effective treatment to eradicate irregular tumor tissues. During this process, many difficulties occur such as intense cooling may also damage the neighboring normal tissues due to the release of large amount of cold from the cooling probe. In order to protect the normal tissues in the vicinity of target tumor tissues, coolant was released in a regulated manner accompanied with the nanoparticle to regulate the size and orientation of ice balls formed together with improved probe capacity. The phase change occurs in the target tumor tissues during cryosurgery treatment. The effective heat capacity method is used for simulation of phase change in bio-heat transfer equation to take into account the latent heat of phase transition. The bio-heat transfer equation is solved by using element free Galerkin method (EFGM) to simulate the phase change problem of biological tissues subject to nano cryosurgery. In this study, Murshed model with cylindrical nanoparticles is used for the high thermal conductivity of nanofluids as compared to Leong Model with the spherical nanoparticle. The important effects of the interfacial layer at the mushy region (i.e. liquid to the solid interface), size and concentration of nanoparticles are shown on the freezing process. This type of problem has applications in biomedical treatment such as drug delivery. Application of cryosurgery in bio-fluids used for drug delivery in cancer therapy can be made more efficient in the presence of nanoparticles (such as Iron oxide ($Fe_{3}O_{4}$), alumina ($Al_{2}O_{3}$) and gold ($Au$)).

Computerized planning for multiprobe cryosurgery using a force-field analogy.

Cryosurgery is the destruction of undesired biological tissues by freezing. For internal organs, multiple cryoprobes are inserted into the tissue with the goal of maximizing cryoinjury within a predefined target region, while minimizing cryoinjury to the surrounding tissues. The objective of this study is to develop a computerized planning tool to determine the best locations to insert the cryo...
