Virtual liver surgery. Three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) image of a human liver,simulated for use in virtual liver surgery. Blood vessels (blue,red,white) and the bile duct (yellow) are seen. This liver image can be rotated,and has internal anatomical structures of a real liver. A surgeon can operate a remote calliper surgical instrument to penetrate into liver blood vessels or biliary canals,and perform "real-time" surgery such as the removal of a tumour. This VR simulation will assist surgeons to plan and practice liver surgery after a patient has been scanned (MRI,ultrasound) and their liver reproduced on a computer screen.
