Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Medical imaging analysis
  • Surgical oncology

Background:

  • Increasing liver resections necessitate accurate preoperative liver volume assessment.
  • Postoperative liver failure risk highlights the importance of precise volume calculations.
  • Previous studies validated ImageJ for liver volume estimation against indirect measures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the correlation between ImageJ-calculated liver volumes and actual resected liver tissue volumes.
  • To assess the reliability of ImageJ for preoperative liver volume determination in surgical planning.
  • To establish ImageJ as a dependable tool for predicting remnant liver volume.

Main Methods:

  • Included 30 patients undergoing defined liver resections.
  • Compared ImageJ-calculated liver volumes with direct measurements of resected tissue.
  • Utilized concordance correlation coefficient (ρc) for statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a strong correlation (ρc = 0.9950) between calculated and measured liver volumes.
  • Confirmed ImageJ's accuracy in estimating the volume of resected liver tissue.
  • Highlighted surgeons' expertise in predicting resection volumes.

Conclusions:

  • ImageJ is a highly reliable tool for preoperative liver volume assessment.
  • Accurate preoperative volume assessment using ImageJ improves surgical planning and patient outcomes.
  • This technology is vital for advancing the scope and safety of liver surgery.
