Original Abstract

This paper deals with heat distribution in human tissues. The Bioheat equation is used for modeling of heat transfer in tissues. Software application Cryomodel is described in this paper. The Cryomodel is realized in Matlab software for simulation of cryosurgery operation. Simulation is realized in 3D space of tissue. The Cryomodel contains many adjustable parameters like: Temperature and diameter of cryoprobe and properties of tissue. The Cryomodel considers four layers of tissue and one centre of cancer. Layers of epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat and muscle for example. Optimization of tumor destroying is the main aim of this study. The Optimization is based on increasing of thermal conduction in tumor. This software application should be a good planning tool for doctors in practice.
