title = "Automatic estimation of optimal resected liver regions considering practical surgical conditions",
abstract = "This article presents an automatic approach to estimate optimal resected-liver regions for oncologic surgery planning considering practical surgical conditions. Since the liver has complex vessel structure, it is difficult for human to find optimal resected liver regions. We provide efficient approaches for two types of practical problems: (1) Finding an optimal resected region under cut volume limitation, and (2) Finding an optimal cut surface based on a 3-dimensional(3-D) parabola model. For both problems, a tumor domination ratio is efficiently used to find all portal vessels related to tumors. The experimental results demonstrate that the resected liver regions of the proposed approach are much smaller than those of the conventional manual approach in most cases.",
