BackgroundThe traditional anatomical organs study aim directly at cadaveric specimens. Since they were not perfused, the internal pipesal organ collapsed, the three-dimensional conformational space of the liver changed. So the pipeline structure which we obtained was different from the structure of the living liver. With the development of modern imaging (spiral CT, MRI, etc.), hepatobiliary surgery get to a new stage. The concept of surgical treatment of liver cancer is being transformed. Many liver cancers which encroached the porta hepatis, portal vein and inferior vena cava were excised; the living donor right liver and the enlarged right liver transplantation were performed. However, it remains the king problem that the complexity and variability of liver and other organ pipe structure cause complications. Such as, postoperative bleeding. Maybe, the study of medical image visualization and virtual reality technology can solve these problems. With the chiastopic fusion and the rapid development of the computer technology, the image processing technology, the medicophysics and the medicine, the surgical diagnosis and therapy experienced great change. In these years, the computer-assisted operation system and the virtual operation system are the achievements of the rapid development of the information science applied in the medical region. The surgeons can make the operation safely, reliably and accuratly with the advanced skills. The flying development in modern science and technology has built a concrete ground for the vital studies on the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of hepatic duct systems in recent years. The 3D reconstruction through hispeed CT angiography conducted by Raptopouls V, et al displayed the full views of portal and hepatic veins as well as the spatial conformational relations anatomically. Consequently the portal and hepatic veins can be located and their diameters, obstructions and collateral circulations can be evaluated. Wigmore SJ et. all reconstructed liver from the scanned images by helical CT and performed the virtual surgical incision of liver to access the risk of hepatic failure after hepatic incision and reckon the incision range. The three-dimension hepatic and the virtual surgery make use of such imagery sequence as CT and MRI, so as to display a three-dimensional model of the various structures of the liver, making the hiding human organ a visible "live" three-dimensional object, namely visualization. The strengths include:1) being specifically located in certain space; 2) Being observable in structure and being measurable and available while performing various surgeries on virtual liver; 3) Enhancing the advancement of anatomical liver. In various surgeries of virtue liver, the CT or MRI examination data of specific liver cancer patients could be employed for image fusion and update. Hence the surgeons can use their computers to conduct surgical planning and test the operational process repeatly. Such computerization exercise will help surgeons to optimize the planning, ensure the surgery quality and safety, and reduce the operative complications.Part 1.
