  • Abstract
    We have developed LiverPlanner, a virtual liver surgery planning system that uses high-level image analysis algorithms and virtual reality technology to help physicians find the best resection plan for each individual patient. Preliminary user studies of LiverPlanner show that the proposed tools are well accepted by doctors and lead to much shorter planning times
