CALCULATION OF NON-STATIONARY TEMPERATURE FIELDS IN TISSUE IN THE APPLICATION OF CRYOTHERAPY: A CONTRIBUTION TO THERAPY PLANNING.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF NON-STATIONARY TEMPERATURE FIELDS IN LIVING TISSUE CAN SUPPLY PRE-OPERATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS AND REFERENCE VALUE FOR THE EXACT PLANNING OF CRYOTHERAPY. HENCE IT IS POSSIBLE TO ESTIMATE THE POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITS FOR ATTAINING A PARTICULAR CRYOTHERAPEUTIC EFFECT. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR ONCOLOGICAL INDICATIONS BECAUSE AN INSUFFICIENT THERAPEUTIC DOSAGE MAY RESULT IN THE STIMULATION EFFECT OCCURRING AT THE MOST EXTREME PERIPHERY OF THE FREEZING ZONE AND BECOMING EFFECTIVE IN THE TUMOUR'S MARGINAL ZONE. THIS MUST BE PREVENTED AT ALL EVENTS. EVEN THE IMPACT OF THE VARIOUS TISSUE AND DEVICE PARAMETERS ON THE TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION CAN BE DEFINED WITH THE AIM OF CORRECTLY JUDGING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARAMETERS IN THERAPY.
