HepaVision2 – A software assistant for preoperative planning in living-related liver transplantation and oncologic liver surgery

HepaVision2, a user friendly software application for preoperative planning based on CT images in liver surgery is presented. It is intended for both, evaluation of potential donors in living-related liver transplantation and planning of oncologic resections. The planning takes into account the patient’s individual anatomy allowing for fully automatic calculation of individual resection proposals including volumetric analysis. The results are visualized in 3D, thus allowing the surgeon to choose the optimal strategy for each patient. The software was tested in over 50 cases by our clinical partners and our institution. Average time needed per case is below one hour, therefore allowing the use of the software application in clinical routine.
