Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to quantify the thermal sink effect, the shape, the size and the volume of ice balls in gel created around a cryoprobe were successfully visualized and measured under computed tomography, while varying the factors (the diameter, the flow rate and the distance from the cryoprobe) of a simulated vascular flow generated by a custom-made fluid-circulating pump system. According to our results, the simulated thermal sink effect had a good correlation with the diameter and the flow rate of the simulated vessel, while there was an opposite correlation between the thermal sink effect and the distance from the cryoprobe. In addition, it was revealed that there was an upper limit of the thermal sink effect with regard to the flow rate of the simulated vessel. In a swine liver, the thermal sink effect was successfully visualized by this fluid-circulating pump system to utilize for a future experiment.
