Area of Science:

Medical imaging and visualization
Surgical planning and simulation
Computational anatomy

Context:

Liver tumor resectability is determined by 3D spatial relationships with intrahepatic vascular trees.
Accurate 3D anatomical understanding is crucial for effective liver surgery.
Existing methods may lack precision in visualizing complex liver structures.

Purpose:

To establish a computer-based 3D volumetric operation planning system for liver surgery.
To develop a system for semi-automatic segmentation of liver parenchyma, vessels, and tumors from CT scans.
To enable virtual resection planning with automated margin calculation.

Summary:

A novel system utilizes helical CT data for semi-automatic segmentation of liver tissues and tumors.
