Summary
Preoperative surgical simulation using 3D imaging enhances hepatectomy safety. Advanced techniques like image-supported navigation aid in calculating liver volumes and resection zones for improved surgical planning.
Area of Science:
- Medical imaging
- Surgical oncology
- Hepatobiliary surgery
Background:
- Growing emphasis on surgical safety through preoperative simulation.
- Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare designates "Image-supported navigation in hepatectomy" as an advanced medical technique.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the technologies behind Fujifilm's SYNAPSE VINCENT (VINCENT) Liver Analysis Application for preoperative simulations.
- To enhance safety in hepatectomy by utilizing 3D image visualization and analysis.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing computed tomography (CT) images to create 3D reconstructions of the liver, vasculature, and tumors.
- Employing the SYNAPSE VINCENT (VINCENT) volume analyzer's Liver Analysis Application for calculations and simulations.
- Calculating liver volume distribution by blood vessels, resection zone volume, and remaining liver volume.
Main Results:
- The VINCENT system facilitates detailed preoperative simulations for hepatectomy.
- 3D image analysis enables precise volumetric calculations crucial for surgical planning.
- The technology supports the "Image-supported navigation in hepatectomy" initiative.
Conclusions:
- The VINCENT Liver Analysis Application offers unique features for advanced preoperative surgical simulation.
- Further research and development are directed towards refining these 3D visualization and analysis technologies for enhanced surgical outcomes.

3.8K
The liver, an essential organ in the human body, performs over 200 vital functions that can be broadly categorized into metabolic, hematological, endocrine regulation, and bile production.
Metabolic Regulation:
The liver is the central organ involved in regulating blood composition. It stabilizes blood glucose levels, maintaining them within the range of 70–110 mg/dL. When these levels drop, the liver breaks down glycogen reserves and releases glucose into the bloodstream. It can...

1.6K
Blood studies are critical in the medical field, enabling healthcare professionals to assess a patient's health status accurately. This page will focus on two significant blood studies: Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) and Venous Blood Gas (VBG).
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) studies are crucial for assessing the lungs' ability to supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, reflecting the patient's ventilation status. They also help understand the kidneys' capacity to...

01:13Mass Analyzers: Overview
2.0K
The mass analyzer is a crucial component of the mass spectrometer. In the ionization chamber, the vaporized sample is bombarded with a high-energy electron beam to generate a radical cation and further fragment into neutral molecules, radicals, and cations. A series of negatively charged accelerator plates accelerate the cations into the mass analyzer. The mass analyzer separates ions according to their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios and then directs them to the detector. The common types of mass...

2.7K
The liver, the largest gland within the human body, is a firm and reddish-brown organ. This wedge-shaped structure weighs approximately 1.5 kg and occupies a significant portion of the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions. It extends more to the right of the body's midline than to the left.
Located under the diaphragm, the liver is almost entirely ensconced within the rib cage, providing it with substantial protection. Except for the superior most bare area, the liver's surface is...

The hepatic portal system, a critical part of our circulatory framework, transports nutrient-laden, deoxygenated blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver. This ingenious system plays an indispensable role in maintaining our body's metabolic equilibrium.
At its core, the hepatic portal vein is the result of a confluence of the superior and inferior mesenteric veins along with the splenic vein. Each of these veins has a unique role. The superior mesenteric vein is...

1.8K
Capillary electrophoresis instrumentation typically consists of several key components. A high-voltage power supply generates the electric field necessary for the separation by connecting to an anode (the positively charged electrode) and a cathode (the negatively charged electrode) located in buffer reservoirs at each end of the capillary tube. The system includes a sample vial, a fused silica capillary tube coated with polyimide for mechanical strength through which the sample components...
