A Palm-Sized Cryoprobe System with a Built-in Thermocouple and Its Application in an Animal Model of Epilepsy
Tatsuji Tokiwa, Lev Zimin, Hiroshi Ishiguro, Takao Inoue, Hiroshi Kajigaya, Sadahiro Nomura, Michiyasu Suzuki, Takeshi Yamakawa
We have studied a palm-sized cryoprobe system and showed that cryosurgery may be an effective treatment for epilepsy. Conventional cryoprobe systems have triple coaxial tubes. Since accurate temperature measurement of the probe tip is indispensable for reliable treatment of cryosurgery,...
