There is clinical evidence that complete tumor removal is still the only treatment of primary liver cancers or metastases that can ensure acceptable long-term survival and cure in some patients. However, due to the continuous development of various tools, liver tumor surgery is no longer the sole treatment. This has led to the consideration in most cases of a multidisciplinary management of these patients.ii This may include RF or micro-wave tumor ablation, chemoembolization, and partial resection of tumors.

CT Liver Analysis provides Couinaud Lobe segmentation and interactive tools for planning liver resection and ablation. This robust application automatically identifies and extracts the liver using Enhanced Zero-click Performance. It then semi-automatically segments the liver for a comprehensive analysis and quantification of clinical informaiton. Once the segmentation is done, the resulting volume can be used for simple preplanning of the RF ablation of individual lesions or of partial liver resection.
