Abstract

BACKGROUND: In laparoscopic liver surgery, accurately predicting the displacement of key intrahepatic anatomical structures is crucial for informing the doctor's intraoperative decision-making. However, due to the constrained surgical perspective, only a partial surface of the liver is typically visible. Consequently, the utilization of non-rigid volume to surface registration methods becomes essential. But traditional registration methods lack the necessary accuracy and cannot meet real-time requirements.
