A novel preoperative surgery planning method is proposed for percutaneous hepatic microwave ablation. An iterative framework for necrosis field simulation and 3D necrosis zone reconstruction is introduced here, and the necrosis model is further superimposed to patient anatomy structures using advanced GPU-accelerated visualization techniques. The full surgery planning is performed by the surgeon in an interactively way, until the optimal surgery plan is achieved. Experiments have been performed on realistic patient with hepatic cancer and the actual necrosis zone are measured in postoperative CT images for patient. Results show that this method is relative accurate for preoperative trajectory plan and could be used as an assistant to the clinical practice. © 2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
