“…In order to achieve a true intraoperative AR, between 2005-2010, researchers explored and developed many new technologies. Hansen et al presented new methods for intraoperative display of vascular structures in liver surgery reducing the visual complexity of vascular structures, and accentuating spatial relations among main branches (34). Shekhar et al developed a live AR navigation system for laparoscopic surgery using continuous low-dose volumetric computed tomography (CT) and tested its stability through experiments upon pigs (35).…”

Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the main forms of Extended Reality (XR) application in surgery. hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgeons could benefit from AR as an efficient tool for making surgical plans, providing intraoperative navigation, and enhancing surgical skills. The introduction of AR to HPB surgery is less than 30 years but brings profound influence. From the early days of projecting liver models on patients' surfaces for locating a better puncture point to today's assisting surgeons to perform live donor liver transplantation, a series of successful clinical practices have proved that AR can play a constructive role in HPB surgery and has great potential. Thus far, AR has been shown to increase efficiency and safety in surgical resection, and, at the same time, can improve oncological outcomes and reduce surgical risk. Although AR has presented admitted advantages in surgery, AR's application is still immature as an emerging technique and needs more exploration. In this paper, we reviewed the principles of AR and its developing history in HPB surgery, describing its significant practical applications over the past 30 years. Reviewing the past attempts of AR in HPB surgery could make HPB surgeons a better understanding of future surgery and the digital trends in medicine. The routine uses of AR in HPB surgery, as an indication of the operating room entering the new era, is coming soon.

“…In the clinical practice of diagnosis and treatment of liver disease, how to effectively represent and analyze the vascular structure is one of the most principle research topics [2]. This process is basically composed of the following steps: segmentation of liver vessels, vascular structural description based on skeleton extraction, graph matching and registration of vessel images, 3D reconstruction and display.…”

In the clinical practice of diagnosis and treatment of liver disease, how to effectively represent and analyze the vascular structure has been a widely studied topic for a long time. In this paper, we propose a method for the threedimensional skeletal graph generation of liver vessels using 3D thinning algorithm and graph theory. First of all, the principal methods for skeletonization are introduced, followed by their comparative analysis. Secondly, the 3D thinning-based skeletonization method together with a filling hole pre-processing on liver vessel image are employed to form the liver skeleton. A graph-based technique is then employed on the skeleton image to efficiently form the liver vascular graph. The thinning-based liver vessel skeletonization method was evaluated on liver vessel images with other two kinds of skeletonization approaches to show its effectiveness and efficiency.
