Objective To carry out the three-dimensional volume reconstruction of hepatic arteries for an individual hepatic cellular cancer (HCC) patient, and discuss its potentials in clinical and research applications. Methods GE Lightspeed 64 multi-detector helical CT was used for patient examination, from which 300 slices were employed for three-dimensional volume reconstruction by utilizing the commercial software Minics, and for further discussion of its potential applications. Results A three-dimensional model including partial celiac axis (about 12.7-18.6mm), hepatic artery (about 5.3mm), proper hepatic artery (about 4.5mm) and left gastric artery (about 4.6mm) were reconstructed via the three-dimensional volume reconstruction. Conclusions The three-dimensional model reconstructed by the volume reconstruction provides a more visual display than the original CT images, and has better post-processing advantages. The reconstructed model is the base of finite element model and provides a better mathematical model for future hemodynamic simulations of hepatic arteries, which is helpful for appropriate liver surgery and post-surgical evaluations.
