Paper Abstract
Preoperative planning combined with image-guidance has shown promise towards increasing the accuracy of liver
resection procedures. The purpose of this study was to validate one such preoperative planning tool for four patients
undergoing hepatic resection. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) images acquired before surgery were used to
identify tumor margins and to plan the surgical approach for resection of these tumors. Surgery was then performed
with intraoperative digitization data acquire by an FDA approved image-guided liver surgery system (Pathfinder
Therapeutics, Inc., Nashville, TN). Within 5-7 days after surgery, post-operative CT image volumes were acquired.
Registration of data within a common coordinate reference was achieved and preoperative plans were compared to
the postoperative volumes. Semi-quantitative comparisons are presented in this work and preliminary results indicate
that significant liver regeneration/hypertrophy in the postoperative CT images may be present post-operatively. This
could challenge pre/post operative CT volume change comparisons as a means to evaluate the accuracy of
preoperative surgical plans.
