| 简介 |
A method and system for interactive patient-specific simulation of liver tumor ablation is disclosed. A patient-specific anatomical model of the liver and circulatory system of the liver is estimated from 3D medical image data of a patient. A computational domain is generated from the patient-specific anatomical model of the liver. Blood flow in the liver and the circulatory system of the liver is simulated based on the patient-specific anatomical model. Heat diffusion due to ablation is simulated based on a virtual ablation probe position and the simulated blood flow in the liver and the circulatory system of the liver by solving a bio-heat equation for each node on the level-set representation using a Lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) implementation. Cellular necrosis in the liver is computed based on the simulated heat diffusion. Visualizations of a computed necrosis region and temperature maps of the liver are generated. A user input is interactively received to modify the position of the virtual ablation probe, the heat diffusion and cellular necrosis is re-simulated based on the user input, and the visualizations of the computed necrosis region and the temperature maps are updated |
