Summary

A TECHNIQUE USING FINITE ELEMENTS IS PROPOSED FOR SOLVING THE HEAT AND MASS DIFFUSION EQUATIONS WHICH DESCRIBE THE FREEZING OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS. IT CAN BE APPLIED TO COMPLEX THREE-DIMENSIONAL GEOMETRIES WHICH ARISE IN CRYOSURGERY AND COULD INCLUDE THE POSSIBLE USE OF MULTIPLE TIPPED PROBES AND ALSO OFFER A MAJOR INSIGHT INTO THE PROBLEMS WHICH ARISE IN THE CRYOPRESERVATION OF WHOLE ORGANS.
