Abstract | A new methodology to control the freezing front propagation during cryosurgical procedures is studied through the use of numerical techniques. Laser irradiation of a target tissue is explored as a new methodology for localizing heat generation and, thus, confining more accurately the desired cryoinjury region and to protect a thicker superficial layer of tissue. In addition to the irradiation of laser energy, the use of dyes is proposed as a means of localizing heat absorption and increasing the thickness of the protected region. A 2D finite volume numerical code based on the enthalpy method was developed to model the freezing process during cryoprobe cooling of a volume of tissue, while heating was applied to the external boundary protecting the superficial layer of tissue. Laser irradiation was modeled with Beer’s Law, and the energy absorption, which is proportional to the intensity, was taken as a source term in the energy equation. The thermophysical properties of the tissue are modeled as temperature dependent properties of water. Temperature contours resulting from a) constant temperature heating b) and regulated laser irradiation heating of tissue indicate that the latter methodology may be more effective in limiting cryoinjury to a predefined region. Additionally, if dyes are used, the protected area increases in thickness. The most dramatic differences between the two methodologies occur when the cryoprobe is placed near the surface, the effective attenuation coefficient of the material is low, and dyes are injected into the tissue to promote localized absorption of laser irradiated energy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
