Interaction Techniques and Vessel Analysis for Preoperative Planning in Liver Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present visualization and interaction techniques for preoperative planning in oncologic liver surgery. After several image processing steps a 3d visualization of all relevant anatomic and pathologic structures is created. In this 3d visualization a surgeon can flexibly specify resection regions with resection tools which can be applied selectively to different structures. The combination of several views which can be synchronized makes it easy to compare different views on the resection plan. In addition, we present the application of vessel analysis techniques in order to make suggestions for optimal resections according to guidelines for liver surgery. The basic idea for these suggestions is to define the region which has to be removed in order to resect a lesion with a given tumor free margin. For this purpose, the vessels involved and the region supplied by them is estimated. It turned out that the resections suggested provide a reasonable and useful basis for preoperative planning. This contribution presents novel methods which have not been evaluated thoroughly yet.

Evaluation of Factors Influencing Liver Function Test in On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Background: Liver dysfunction during on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a rare complication but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The ability to identify high-risk patients may be helpful in planning appropriate management strategies. We aimed to evaluate the factors influencing liver function tests during on-pump CABG.Methods: In 146 patients scheduled...

We discuss interaction tasks and interaction techniques for the planning of soft tissue operations as for example oncologic liver and lung surgery. We focus on techniques to explore the relevant structures, to integrate measurements directly in 3d visualizations and to specify resection volumes. The main contribution of this paper is the introduction of new techniques for 3d measurements and fo...

متن کاملVirtual Liver Surgery Planning: Simulation of Resections (print-version)
In liver surgery, tumor resection is often the only curative treatment for patients suffering from liver cancer. A detailed planning must precede the actual intervention, because information about liver shape, tumor location, and the arrangement of the vascular structure is required. In addition, quantitative assessment of volumes and distances plays an important role in pre-operative planning....
