Hepatic vessel segmentation for 3D planning of liver surgery experimental evaluation of a new fully automatic algorithm

The aim of this study was to identify the optimal parameter configuration of a new algorithm for fully automatic segmentation of hepatic vessels, evaluating its accuracy in view of its use in a computer system for three-dimensional (3D) planning of liver surgery. A phantom reproduction of a human li...
