Image processing is a very important tool in improving the quantity and quality of information given by ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver. The liver is the largest organ in the body, has a very complex anatomy and can be affected by many different diseases, including diffuse and focal diseases. Among diffuse diseases, cirrhosis has the highest prevalence and can be associated with portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (Bartolozzi and Lencioni 1999). Cirrhotic patients are even more often candidates for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), and need an accurate evaluation of the liver itself and of its vascularization. Post-processing with three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of surfaces, volumes and vessels is of crucial importance in surgical planning.

Abstract

Image processing is a very important tool in improving the quantity and quality of information given by ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver. The liver is the largest organ in the body, has a very complex anatomy and can be affected by many different diseases, including diffuse and focal diseases. Among diffuse diseases, cirrhosis has the highest prevalence and can be associated with portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (Bartolozzi and Lencioni 1999). Cirrhotic patients are even more often candidates for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), and need an accurate evaluation of the liver itself and of its vascularization. Post-processing with three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of surfaces, volumes and vessels is of crucial importance in surgical planning.
