This study introduces a new segmentation framework for liver transplantation surgery planning, enhancing accuracy for complex liver shapes in cancer patients. The novel approach improves the robustness of surgical planning systems for diverse patient anatomies.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Planning
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) surgery planning requires accurate segmentation of liver structures.
  • Complex variations in liver shapes, particularly in patients with cancer, pose significant challenges to existing segmentation methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel segmentation framework to improve the accuracy and robustness of surgical planning in LDLT.
  • To address the challenges posed by complex liver shape variations in patients with liver cancer.

Main Methods:

  • A robust shape prior modeling module using the sparse shape composition (SSC) model to capture patient-specific liver shape variations.
  • Integration of the liver shape prior with a minimally supervised segmentation algorithm for simultaneous segmentation of hepatic parenchyma, portal veins, hepatic veins, and tumors.

  • Application of the framework to an existing LDLT surgery planning system.

    • Main Results:

    • The SSC model demonstrated superior performance over principal component analysis in handling complex liver shape variations, excluding outliers, and preserving local details.
    • The segmentation framework achieved average symmetric surface distances of 1.07 ± 0.76 mm (parenchyma), 1.09 ± 0.28 mm (portal veins), 0.92 ± 0.35 mm (hepatic veins), and 1.13 ± 0.37 mm (tumors).
    • Hausdorff distances for the segmented structures ranged from 4.09 to 7.68 mm, indicating high accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed segmentation framework significantly enhances the robustness of LDLT surgery planning systems for complex clinical liver shapes.
    • The SSC model effectively handles non-Gaussian errors and preserves crucial local shape information.
    • The framework provides accurate segmentation for diverse patient cases, including those with significant liver shape variations, improving surgical planning for liver cancer patients.
