This study introduces a novel method using crepuscular rays to visualize safe access paths for physicians during preoperative planning, enhancing patient safety in medical interventions. The technique was validated in abdominal radio-frequency ablation (RFA) procedures, proving effective and efficient.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging and Visualization
  • Surgical Planning
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Preoperative planning of access paths to target structures is critical and complex in clinical practice.
  • Physician inexperience can lead to severe complications or patient mortality.
  • Current methods may lack sufficient safety evaluation and intuitive visualization tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel method for safety evaluation and visualization of access paths for physicians.
  • To assist in preoperative planning by providing real-time safety information.
  • To improve the safety and efficiency of medical interventions through enhanced planning.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the crepuscular rays metaphor for intuitive visualization of safety.

  • Developing methods to compute path safety from the region of interest to tumor voxels.
  • Implementing real-time visualization using multi-volume rendering.
  • Estimating connected safe areas to enhance 2D multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) views.

    • Main Results:

    • The method was evaluated through expert interviews, an online survey, and retrospective analysis of 19 abdominal radio-frequency ablation (RFA) interventions.
    • Expert decisions served as the gold standard for evaluation.
    • Results demonstrated successful clinical application without substantial overhead.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method effectively enhances preoperative planning by providing safety evaluations and visualizations of access paths.
    • The technique is applicable in clinical practice, particularly for interventions like RFA, improving safety and efficiency.
    • The method's utility extends beyond medical applications to other fields requiring path planning.
