Purpose Liver segmentation from CT images is a fundamental step in trajectory planning for
computer-assisted interventional surgery. In this paper, we present a fully automatic …

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is now a widely used minimally invasive treatment method
for hepatic tumors. Preoperative planning plays a vital role in RFA therapy. With increasing …

The RFA Guardian is a comprehensive application for high-performance patient-specific
simulation of radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors. We address a wide range of usage …

Background We aimed at facilitating percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for large
tumors with accurate overlapping ablation planning and robot‐assisted needle insertion …

Introduction Radio-frequency ablation (RFA) is a promising minimal-invasive treatment
option for early liver cancer, however monitoring or predicting the size of the resulting tissue …

Thermal ablation is a promising minimally invasive intervention to treat liver tumors. It
requires a meticulous planning phase where the electrode trajectory from the skin surface to …

In this contribution, we present a semi-automatic segmentation algorithm for radiofrequency
ablation (RFA) zones via optimal st-cuts. Our interactive graph-based approach builds upon …

Image-guided thermal ablation procedures such as microwave ablation (MWA) or
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have become clinically accepted treatment options for liver …

Segmentation of the liver from 3D computed tomography volumes plays a significant role in
trajectory development for computer‐assisted interventional surgery for the liver disease …

A method and system for interactive patient-specific simulation of liver tumor ablation is
disclosed. A patient-specific anatomical model of the liver and circulatory system of the liver …
