Project Description
Project Description
This extension will be developed for use at Samsung Medical Center to support their protocol-based pre-operative planning for liver transplantation and liver cancer surgery using 3D Slicer. The extension will helping automation of generating accurate 3D patient models from medical imaging data and enable surgical planning and simulation. This will improve the efficiency of the 3D reconstruction process.

Samsung Medical Center has established a protocol for using 3D Slicer to generate accurate patient-specific 3D models from medical imaging data, enabling enhanced pre-operative planning and simulation for liver transplantation and liver cancer surgery. As described in a recent study (Rhu et al., 2021), this protocol leverages advanced liver segmentation techniques and 3D modeling to provide surgeons with detailed visualizations of the patient's anatomy.

Since the summer of 2023, the medical center has been transitioning from MIMICS to 3D Slicer as their primary tool. To streamline the repetitive tasks involved, they have been working to automate the workflow using custom scripts starting in early 2024. The goal of this project is to develop a specialized 3D Slicer extension that aligns with the established institutional protocols and automates the 3D modeling process.
