Guiding liver surgery with combined images
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new method that combines different medical images (CT, MRI, ultrasound) to help guide surgeons during laparoscopic (keyhole) liver surgery. It may make the surgery more precise and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to remove part of your liver (hepatectomy).
- You have good quality CT, MRI, or ultrasound images available.
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your surgery is done through small cuts (laparoscopy) using either standard or robot-assisted tools.

This study uses a computer program to help doctors predict risks and outcomes for patients having laparoscopic liver or gallbladder surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan and manage your care before, during, and after surgery.
This trial tests a new way to help surgeons see liver tumors more clearly during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. A special dye (ICG) is used with a camera to guide the surgeon in removing just the right part of the liver. It may lead to safer and more precise surgery for people with liver cancer.
This trial tests a new way to control blood flow during laparoscopic liver surgery. It compares two methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients with certain liver conditions.
This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
This study uses advanced imaging (ultrasound with contrast dye and MRI) combined with artificial intelligence to help doctors plan the best surgery for early-stage liver cancer. The goal is to improve treatment outcomes and help doctors choose between two surgical options: removing part of the liver or using heat to destroy the tumor.
This trial is testing a computer program that can automatically analyze medical images like CT scans from people who have had laparoscopic liver, gallbladder, or pancreas surgery. The goal is to see if the AI can help doctors better plan and perform these surgeries.
