Cryoablation

A new project started this year around cryotherapy. This technique consists in inserting needles that freezing the surrounding tissues, thus immediately leading to cellular death of the tissues. Cryoablation procedure is used in many medical fields for tumor ablation, and even starts being used in cardiology. In this scope, we build a simulator able to place the cryoprobes and run a simulation representing the evolution of iceballs in living tissues.
