Computerized Planning of Prostate Cryosurgery and Shape Considerations
The current study aims to explore possible relationships between various prostate shapes and the difficulty in creating a computer-based plan for cryosurgery. This research effort is a part of an ongoing study to develop computational means in order to improve cryosurgery training and education. This study uses a computerized planner-a key building block of a recently developed prototype for cr...
متن کاملComputerized planning of prostate cryosurgery using variable cryoprobe insertion depth.
The current study presents a computerized planning scheme for prostate cryosurgery using a variable insertion depth strategy. This study is a part of an ongoing effort to develop computerized tools for cryosurgery. Based on typical clinical practices, previous automated planning schemes have required that all cryoprobes be aligned at a single insertion depth. The current study investigates the ...
متن کاملComputerized planning of cryosurgery using cryoprobes and cryoheaters.
In a typical minimally invasive cryoprocedure, multiple cryoprobes are inserted into the tissue with the goal of maximizing cryoinjury within a predefined target region, while minimizing cryoinjury to the surrounding tissues. A temperature-controlled electrical heater has been developed recently by this research team, in order to assist in limiting the cryoinjury to the target region. The new d...
متن کاملComputerized planning for multiprobe cryosurgery using a force-field analogy.
Cryosurgery is the destruction of undesired biological tissues by freezing. For internal organs, multiple cryoprobes are inserted into the tissue with the goal of maximizing cryoinjury within a predefined target region, while minimizing cryoinjury to the surrounding tissues. The objective of this study is to develop a computerized planning tool to determine the best locations to insert the cryo...
متن کاملAn efficient numerical technique for bioheat simulations and its application to computerized cryosurgery planning
As a part of ongoing efforts to develop computerized planning tools for cryosurgery, the current study focuses on developing an efficient numerical technique for bioheat transfer simulations. Our long-term goal is to develop a planning tool for cryosurgery that takes a 3D reconstruction of a target region, and suggests the best cryoprobe layout. Toward that goal, a planning algorithm, termed "f...
