Objective To evaluate the effect of a deep learning reconstruction (DLR) method on the visibility of contrast-enhanced CT images of the biliary system by comparing it with different iterative reconstruction algorithms including the adaptive iterative...
Certain life-threatening abnormalities, such as cholangiocarcinoma, in the human biliary tract are curable if detected at an early stage, and ultrasonography has been proven to be an effective tool for identifying them. However, the diagnosis often r...
Image-guided assessment of bile ducts and associated anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be achieved with intra-operative cholangiography (IOC) or laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS). Rates of robotically assisted cholecystectomy (RC) are incre...

The progress of research focused on cholangiocytes and the biliary tree during development and following injury is hindered by limited available quantitative methodologies. Current techniques include two-dimensional standard histological cell-countin...
Pure laparoscopic donor hepatectomy (PLDH) has become a standard practice for living donor liver transplantation in expert centers. Accurate understanding of biliary structures is crucial during PLDH to minimize the risk of complications. This study ...
