PURPOSE: Couinaud's liver segment classification has been widely adopted for liver surgery planning, yet its rigid anatomical boundaries often fail to align precisely with individual patient anatomy. This study proposes a novel patient-specific liver...
Accurate segmentation of the liver parenchyma, portal veins, hepatic veins, and lesions from MRI is important for hepatic disease monitoring and treatment. Multi-phase contrast enhanced imaging is superior in distinguishing hepatic structures compare...
Accurate segmentation of hepatic and portal veins is critical for preoperative planning in liver surgery, especially for resection and transplantation procedures. Extensive anatomical variability, pathological alterations, and inherent class imbalanc...
BACKGROUND: Older patients with cardiovascular disease often experience frailty and sarcopenia. We evaluated whether a reduced blood flow in the splenic and portal vein is associated with frailty and sarcopenia in older patients with cardiovascular d...
BACKGROUND: Portal vein system thrombosis (PVST) is a common and potentially life-threatening complication following splenectomy plus pericardial devascularisation (SPDV) in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Early prediction of PVST is...
BACKGROUND: Liver cirrhosis complicated by portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a fatal complication with no specific manifestations but often misdiagnosed, it crucially increases the mortality worldwide. This study aimed to identify risk factors and esta...
