Description
Luca Boretto and co-authors published this 2024 paper on rebuilding the liver in 3D while surgery is underway. Keyhole liver surgery is gentler for patients, but the organ shifts and squashes once the belly is inflated and tools start moving, so preoperative scans no longer match the view. The team built a method that updates the picture live, without changing the surgical routine.
Their approach fuses video from the scope, tracked in space, with 3D ultrasound, using a neural radiance field to render the scene, vessels, and tumors included. A fix for the squashing caused by the ultrasound probe itself sharpens the match. Tested on real ablation cases against scans taken mid-operation, the unified view can refresh in real time for the surgeon.
