Summary

The authors developed a model used to simulate cooling processes during tumour cryosurgery. They investigated the heat flux between the wall of the cryoprobe and the tumour, and the heat transfer coefficient under various conditions. They demonstrated that the heat transfer coefficient is vital to temperature prediction during cryosurgery.
