Segmentation and reconstruction of hepatic veins and intrahepatic portal vein based on the coronal sectional anatomic dataset

Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of intrahepatic vessels is very useful in visualizing the complex anatomy of hepatic veins and intrahepatic portal vein. It also provides a 3D anatomic basis for diagnostic imaging and surgical operation on the liver. In the present study, we built a 3D digitized model of hepatic veins and intrahepatic portal vein based on the coronal sectional anatomic dataset of the liver. The dataset was obtained using the digital freezing milling technique. The pre-reconstructed structures were identified and extracted, and then were segmented by the method of manual intervention. The digitized model of hepatic veins and intrahepatic portal vein was established using 3D medical visualization software. This model facilitated a continuous and dynamic displaying of the hepatic veins and intrahepatic portal vein at different orientations, which demonstrated the complicated relationship of adjacent hepatic veins and intrahepatic portal vein realistically in the 3D space. This study indicated that high-quality 2D images, precise data segmentation, and suitable 3D reconstruction methods ensured the reality and accuracy of the digital visualized model of hepatic veins and intrahepatic portal vein.

A combination method for preparing casting and transparent liver specimen

With the development of hepatic surgery and radiology, a more accurate understanding of intrahepatic vessels and hepatic segments is necessary. Previously, research in these fields was primarily by means of dissecting livers, preparing corrosion cast specimens, reconstructing three‐dimensional MSCT images of intrahepatic vessels, and so on. The aim of this study was to search for a new specimen preparing method, which could demonstrate intrahepatic vessels and the relationships between internal vessels and external structures of liver simultaneously. Rabbit livers were prepared with three different techniques in this study: (a) corrosion‐cast technique; (b) transparency technique; and (c) combination technique of cast and transparency. The results showed that the combination of casting and transparent liver specimens in group C could demonstrate both the intrahepatic vessels and the external structures clearly. The relationships between the internal vessels and external structures could also be observed clearly. In conclusion, the combination method for preparing casting and transparent liver specimen created a new approach for the research of intrahepatic vessels, especially for applied basic research of hepatic segments.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of paracentesis approach in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt

To establish a digital transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) model and provide morphological data for radiological diagnosis and interventional radiology to reduce portal vein pressure, 400 serial sectional images from the internal jugular vein superior margin to the lower edge of the liver were chosen from the Chinese Visible Human dataset. Surface and volume reconstructions were performed using 3D-DOCTOR 3.5 software on an ordinary personal computer. Volume and surface renderings were employed to perform data segmentation and image edge detection for reconstruction of the internal jugular vein, brachiocephalic vein, superior vena cava, heart, inferior vena cava, hepatic vein, and portal vein for computerized 3D reconstruction of the TIPS pathway and construction of a 3D visible model of different structures along it. The model can also display pathway and distribution characteristics and interactively show the spatial structural relationships between intrahepatic venous lines from any position and angle, plus complete data acquisition for any range and angle for 3D reconstruction with stereopsis and measurements using any visualization platform. The digital reconstruction of the TIPS pathway correctly reflected the complicated anatomic structural characteristics and spatial adjacency relationships between intrahepatic venous lines, providing a reference 3D morphology for image diagnostics and interventional TIPS therapy.     

Virtual planning of liver resections: image processing, visualization and volumetric evaluation

Operability of a liver tumor depends on its three dimensional relation to the intrahepatic vascular trees as well as the volume ratio of healthy to tumorous tissue. Precise operation planning is complicated by anatomic variability and distortion of the vascular trees by the tumor or preceding liver resections. We have developed a computer based 3D virtual operation planning system which is ready to go in routine use. The main task of a system in this domain is a quantifiable patient selection by exact prediction of post-operative liver function. It provides the means to measure absolute and relative volumes of the organ structures and resected parenchyma. Another important step in the pre-operative phase is to visualize the relation between the tumor, the liver and the vessel trees for each patient. The new 3D operation planning system offers quantifiable liver resection proposals based on individualized liver anatomy. The results are presented as 3D movies or as interactive visualizations as well as in quantitative reports.     

The study of three-dimensional reconstruction of Chinese adult liver

Purpose  To build a three-dimensional (3D) visible model of human liver and provide visualization of precise anatomical structures for making plans for hepatic operations and obtain accurate simulation of liver on computer. Methods  Based on the Chinese Visible Human data set, the hepatic structures were precisely segmented by Photoshop software. Then the segmented structures were reconstructed in surface rendering method and the hepatic parenchyma and the other parts of upper abdomen were reconstructed with volume rendering method by using our software on personal computer. Results  A 3D model of human liver and its surrounding structures was built. The reconstructed structures can be displayed singly, in small groups or as a whole and can be continuously rotated in 3D space at different velocities. This model can help doctors to understand the spatial structure of the liver and its surrounding organs and also help surgeons to devise a reasonable surgical plan and reduce the risk of surgical malpractice. Conclusion  Combining volume-rendering reconstruction with surface rendering reconstruction can overcome some of the defects of both rendering reconstructions. The reconstructed liver and the main internal structures are realistic, which demonstrate the natural shape and exact position of the structures. They provide an accurate anatomical model for Chinese adult and also provide a basis for performing virtual hepatic operation.     

Surgical anatomy of hepatic venous system

Surgeons are comfortable with nearly all the intraabdominal structures except the liver. The reason for this is an unfamiliarity with the large intrahepatic venous structures. This arises because current educational methods, illustrations, and prepared casts are relatively unhelpful. The intrahepatic anatomy is best studied by specially prepared dissections that show the vascular structures, with their interrelationships, and the routes of access to these vessels. Forty formalin-hardened livers were thus dissected. The fissures and portal and hepatic veins have been displayed to emphasize their relations to each other with a view to facilitating their exposure at surgery.     

Three-dimensional display of cardiac structures using reconstructed magnetic resonance imaging

It is sometimes difficult to understand the three-dimensional (3D) relationship of cardiac and mediastinal structures despite advances in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques. We present a low-cost system for 3D reconstruction of the major mediastinal structures by processing the MR imaging data on a NeXT workstation. MR images of multisection, multiphase, spin-echo techniques stored in a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) data base were used for the reconstruction. The computer program obtained the contours of the multiple components of the mediastinal structures by the combination of automatic and manual procedure. The bundled software of a 3D kit was used for surface rendering of hidden surface removal, shading of the visible parts of the surfaces, perspective transformation, and motion parallax by rotation of the surfaces. 3D reconstruction was performed in 15 patients with cardiac diseases, and the 3D-reconstructed images were compared with the plain chest x rays of the patients. The 3D presentation clearly showed the complex anatomy of cardiovascular diseases and helped elucidate the misconceptions in the interpretation of the plain chest x rays. Our 3D images are used for education and should be viewed by medical students and beginners in radiology at an individual pace with plain chest radiographs, MR images, and legends. Although applied to the heart and the great vessels in this report, this system is also applicable to other structures.
