Description
Summary:Prototypical software applications for the quantification and visualization of thoracic CT data with the aim of aiding thoracic surgeons in risk assessment and planning of complex resections in patients with lung cancer or lung metastasis were developed. A feasibility study with data from six surgical sites demonstrates strong potential to help surgeons to improve the selection of patients and resection strategies.
