Abstract

In this paper we consider the ice ball formation in a multi-probe cryosurgical procedure. By representation of collocation polynomials and visualisation of individual ice ball formation the radius of thermal propagation from the cryoprobe tip centre can be investigated. This serves as the basis for optimisation of cryoprobe placement to the targeted tissue or the surgeon's decision for the cessation of the freezing process during cryosurgery.
