title: Risk analysis for intraoperative liver surgery.
abstract: Hepatic vessel structure is very important to ensure the blood supply of the liver tissue. Therefore the knowledge of the hepatic vessel system is indispensable in liver surgery planning, for example before performing a liver resection. The purpose of this paper is to present an easy to use and fast method concerning hepatic vessel segmentation and risk analysis, which is intended to be applicable in clinical routine.
