Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Pulmonary segmentectomy requires precise anatomical understanding.
  • Current imaging techniques may have limitations in pre-operative planning for complex resections.
  • Three-dimensional (3D) visualization offers potential for improved surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel 3D image simulation system for pulmonary segmentectomy.
  • To assess the accuracy and utility of the system in pre-operative surgical planning.

Main Methods:

  • Development of new 3D computed tomography (CT) software for pulmonary segmentectomy.
  • Construction of 3D pulmonary and bronchovascular images from contrast-enhanced high-resolution CT (HRCT) data.
  • Evaluation of the 3D simulation system's anatomical validity and consistency with operative findings in 20 patients undergoing thoracoscopic segmentectomy.

Main Results:

  • The 3D image simulation system accurately generated 3D pulmonary and bronchovascular models.
  • Anatomical validity was rated "good" in 95% (19/20) of cases.
  • Anatomical consistency with operative findings was rated "good" in 90% (18/20) of cases.

Conclusions:

  • The novel 3D image simulation system is easy to prepare and anatomically reliable.
  • This system shows potential as a useful tool for pre-operative planning in pulmonary segmentectomy.
  • Enhanced 3D visualization can improve surgical precision in thoracic procedures.
