Clinical Report: Deep Learning Utilizing Couinaud Segmentation on Point Clouds

Overview

This report discusses the integration of Couinaud segmentation with deep learning models for improved preoperative planning in major liver resections. The findings highlight the potential of point cloud representations to enhance surgical decision-making and tumor localization.

Background

Liver cancer remains a significant global health issue, necessitating precise surgical planning for effective treatment. Couinaud segmentation serves as a standard framework for liver anatomy, guiding surgeons in tumor resection strategies. The complexity of liver anatomy and the need for adequate future liver remnant (FLR) make advanced planning techniques essential for successful outcomes.
