Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is currently one of life threatening diseases related to the liver. Current clinical practices suggest that with aid of computer in treatment planning, this can significantly improves the treatment received by the patients. Therefore, in this paper, a review on computer aided HCC pre-surgical planning has been carried out. This review covers several important aspects that need to be considered on building a successful pre-surgical planning system. These include the common imaging modalities used in liver diagnosis, several 3D visualization techniques, some basic ideas on surface rendering, and the important liver components used in pre-surgical planning.
