...Digital preparation of the STL files was accomplished with Magics software (Materialise) in order to (1) evaluate the intersecting vessels and the biliary structures originating from subtle time/position artifacts between CT/MRI imaging phases and then generate a nonoverlapping geometry, (2) actualize hollowed vascular and biliary structures within the liver parenchyma, (3) construct thin-walled external vessels and biliary structures to accompany the...

...The growing demand for liver transplantation and the concomitant shortage of cadaveric livers have led to a rise in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), in which resection of the right or left liver lobe is performed for the purpose of liver transplantation.(2) Living donors are healthy individuals, so ensuring their safety is of paramount importance....
