Sammanfattning
One of the most lethal types of cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma, cancer in the liver.
Because of the many risks entailed with open surgery, the use of laparoscopic surgery
has increased, with no exception in liver resections. Instead of a big cut, minimally
invasive techniques are used, placing small ports on the abdomen where surgical tools
as well as a laparoscope can be inserted. The surgeons orient themselves from the
outside, creating a perception of the inside through the 2D images from the camera
and a preoperative 3D image on the side as a map. Since the liver is an essentially
homogeneous organ, it can be hard to orient from this information, why surgeons
in Gothenburg have developed markers to place on the liver’s surface. With help
of such markers, the goal is to develop an augmented reality tool for intraoperative
guidance, mapping the laparoscopic 2D image to the corresponding 3D position,
and be able to project a tumour area in the laparoscopic view. In this work, an
inventory of laparoscopic liver resection was performed and a camera model as well
as a simulated liver environment was developed. To map a 2D image to the 3D
environment, an algorithm for estimation of the camera pose, named POSIT, was
examined. It was concluded that the limitations of POSIT were not compatible with
the problem, but the platform developed, consisting of a simulated liver environment
and the camera model, can be used as a framework for future work, in which testing
of other algorithms to estimate the camera pose can be performed.
