Summary

AN ULTRASOUND IMAGING DEVICE USING A NEW INTRAOPERATIVE ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER MONITORED THE ENTIRE PROCESS IN REAL TIME. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE ENTIRE FREEZING AND THAWING CYCLE CAN BE MONITORED EASILY USING REAL TIME ULTRASOUND. DURING FREEZING, THE SOLIDIFICATION INTERFACE CAN BE SEEN TO MOVE THROUGH THE TISSUE. AFTER COMPLETE THAWING, THE CRYOLESION BECAME LESS ECHOGENIC THAN BEFORE FREEZING AND WAS THEREFORE DISTINGUISHABLE UNDER ULTRASOUND. POSTSURGICAL PATHOLOGIC EXAMINATION SHOWED EXCELLENT CORRELATION BETWEEN THE LESION SIZE AND ITS ULTRASONIC IMAGE.
