Precise intraoperative assessment of the architecture of the biliary tree could reduce lesions to intra- or extrahepatic bile ducts. The aim of this study was to test feasibility of intraoperative three-dimensional imaging during liver resections. Isocentric C-arm fluoroscopy acquires three-dimensional images during a 190 degrees orbital rotation. The bile ducts were displayed three-dimensionally by realtime rotational projections or multiplanar reconstructions. The technique was established ex vivo in a preserved cadaveric human liver. Intraoperative three-dimensional cholangiography was performed in five patients with centrally located liver malignancies. Complete data acquisition in 3 patients depicted precise anatomical details of the architecture of the biliary tree up to third order divisions. Biliary imaging can be improved by the application of real-time intraoperative three-dimensional cholangiography. For the development of computer-aided navigation in hepatobiliary procedures, this technique could be an important prerequisite for defining landmarks of the liver in a three-dimensional space.
