Résumé

Cryosurgery refers to the application of very low temperatures to undesirable tissue, typically cancerous tumours, in order to destroy it. Cryosurgery is a medical technique that has existed for more than a century. However, recent advances in cryosurgical devices, medical imaging, and understanding of the physical mechanisms that lead to tissue destruction have expanded the number of conditions that can be treated using some form of cryosurgery. The challenges faced by those working on cryosurgical systems are largely engineering challenges that are familiar to the refrigeration engineer, and therefore this is an exciting technology area where the HVAC&R and medical device development industries overlap.
