title: High-resolution computed tomographic angiography/computed tomographic cholangiography image fusion of the hepatobiliary system.
abstract: The 3-dimensional image was excellent as a result of the fast scanning and narrow collimation using multidetector computed tomography (CT); and the parallel escalation in the capabilities of the workstation allow the use of CT angiography/CT cholangiography image fusion. We demonstrated the feasibility of fusion images of the hepatobiliary system. We believe that fusion images are extremely valuable for applications such as preoperative planning for hepatic and bile duct resection.
