Current status and future perspectives of the application of medical 3D visualization technology in accurate surgery of liver tumors / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

There is a rapid development of 3D visualization (3DV) technology in the medical field nowadays. The 3DV model of the liver established by original CT and/or MRI imaging data can provide information on the complex structure of the liver in a variety of modes and help surgeons to perform better preoperative evaluation and individualized planning, so as to realize optimal protective liver resection and finally help patients get the best benefits. This article reviews the research advances in 3DV technology and precision surgery for liver tumors.
