CT volumetry and metastatic liver segmentation before hepatic surgery

Abstract

Future liver remnant volume is important predictive factor of the outcomes of the patients with liver tumours after the surgery. CT volumetry enables to find both the volume of the liver and the volumes of the single lobe or segments.

The automatic CT volumetry is faster with similar accuracy in comparison to the older manual method.
