Multiphase risk assessment of atypical liver resections

In this work, we present a system based on open-source toolkits that can utilize multiple phases of a liver CT dataset to plan a surgery before the patient enters the operation room. The contributions are an optimized deformable registration of arterial and venous phases of the liver and a methodology to assess surgical risk utilizing both phases. It is shown by the example of two clinical cases, how our system enables the fusion of complementary information into a 3D representation of the patient anatomy. Processing times of single processing steps on a modern machine are quite low, which allows for an integration into clinical routine.
