초록

본 논문은 생체간이식 전에 복부 MDCT(Multi-Detector Computed Tomography) 영상에서 이식편의 체적(the volume of right and left liver lobe)을 정확하게 계산하기 위하여 좌간과 우간을 나누는 방법을 제안하였다. 간이 추출된 영상에 해부학적인 좌간과 우간을 나누는 4점(하대정맥(Inferior Vena Cava)를 반으로 나눌 수 있는 중심점, 담낭와와 가까운 중간정맥(Middle Hepatic Vein)의 끝부분 한 점, 좌우문맥(Portal Vein) 분지부에서 한 점, 담낭와(gallbladder fossa)를 좌우로 나눌 수 있는 중심점)을 선택한다. 선택된 4점을 기준으로 좌간과 우간을 나누고 체적과 간 전체에 대한 좌우간의 비율을 계산한다. 계산된 체적의 정확성을 입증하기 위해 방사선과 의사가 수동으로 처리하여 계산한 체적과 함께 수술 중 획득한 실측무게와 비교하였다. 그리고 4점을 선택한 후 좌우간을 분할하여 체적을 계산하는 시간을 측정하여 수술실에서 실시간으로 처리 가능한 지의 여부를 확인하였다. 본 연구는 간이식에 참여하는 기증자와 수혜자의 안전을 보장하기 위하여 진행되었다.

This paper proposed the method to separate a liver into left and right liver lobes for exact volumetry of the river graft at abdominal MDCT(Multi-Detector Computed Tomography) image before living donor liver transplantation. On the image of segmented liver, 4 points(the middle point of Inferior Vena Cava, a point of Middle Hepatic Vein, a point of Portal Vein, a middle point of gallbladder fossa) are selected. A liver is separated into left and right liver lobes on the basis of the 4 points. The volume and ratio of the river graft are estimated. The volume estimated using 4 points and the manual volume that radiologist processed and estimated are compared with the weight measured during surgery to support proof of the exact volumetry. After selection the 4 points, the time involved in separation a liver into left and right river lobe and volumetry of them is measured for confirmation that the algorithm can be used on real time during surgery. This study progressed to ensure donor's and recipient's safe who will undergo the liver transplantation.
