We developed a novel three-dimensional (3D) image simulation system that is especially
focused on pulmonary segmentectomy using new 3D computed tomography (CT) software …

We developed a novel three-dimensional (3D) image simulation system, focused on
pulmonary segmentectomy. The novel algorithms run by the software, which are …

Objective Use of 3-dimensional computed tomography for preoperative and intraoperative
simulation has been introduced in the field of thoracic surgery. However, 3-dimensional …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of anatomic
thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy performed under the guidance of 3-dimensional …

We describe the benefits of simulating an anatomical lung segmentectomy using
multidetector computed tomography bronchography and angiography (tailor-made virtual …

OBJECTIVES Recently, preoperative and intraoperative simulation using three-dimensional
computed tomography (CT) has attracted much attention in thoracic surgery. However …

Thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy is technically meticulous due to the complicated
anatomical variations of segmental bronchus and vessels. Currently three dimensional …

The number of minimally invasive surgeries, such as video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery
and robot‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery, has increased enormously in recent years. More …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of a novel
simulation software called, virtual segmentectomy. METHODS We developed the …

The development of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has promoted three
dimensional (3D) images of lung structures. It is possible to see the vascular and bronchial …
