Experimental Porcine Model Therapy
Scientists at University of Wisconsin, Department of Biomedical Engineering publish new data on experimental porcine model therapy
Published in Medical Device Business Week, July 18th, 2007
Data detailed in "Finite-element analysis of ex vivo and in vivo hepatic cryoablation" have been presented. "Cryoablation is a widely used method for the treatment of nonresectable primary and metastatic liver tumors. A model that can accurately predict the size of a cryolesion may allow more effective treatment of tumor, while sparing normal liver tissue," scientists writing in the journal IEEE Transactions On Biomedical Engineering report.
"We generated a computer model of tissue cryoablation using the finite-element method (FEM). In our model, we considered the heat transfer mechanism inside the cryoprobe and also cryoprobe surfaces so our model could...
