Intraoperative 3D imaging of the biliary tree using C-arm fluoroscopy precisely maps bile ducts during liver surgery. This technique enhances visualization, potentially reducing bile duct injuries and aiding future computer-aided navigation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Biliary tree injuries during liver resections can be reduced with precise intraoperative anatomical assessment.
  • Current imaging techniques may lack the detail needed for complex biliary architecture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) imaging during liver resections.
  • To assess the utility of 3D cholangiography for visualizing the biliary tree.

Main Methods:

  • Isocentric C-arm fluoroscopy was used to acquire 3D images via a 190-degree orbital rotation.
  • The technique was initially established ex vivo in a human liver specimen.
  • Intraoperative 3D cholangiography was performed in five patients undergoing liver resection for malignancies.

Main Results:

  • Complete data acquisition allowed precise visualization of biliary tree anatomy up to third-order divisions in 3 patients.
  • The technique demonstrated the capability for real-time rotational projections and multiplanar reconstructions.
  • Feasibility was established, showing potential for detailed biliary imaging.

Conclusions:

  • Real-time intraoperative 3D cholangiography can significantly improve biliary imaging during liver surgery.
  • This technique serves as a crucial prerequisite for developing computer-aided navigation systems in hepatobiliary procedures.
  • Precise 3D anatomical definition aids in reducing bile duct lesions and improving surgical outcomes.
