Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Correct anatomical location of the tumour (graphically and nominally according to Couinaud's liver segments).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Correct anatomical location designation of the tumour in the Peripheral category - Correct anatomical site designation of the tumour in the central category - Correct assessment of the anatomical proximity of the to the right, middle and left hepatic veins hepatic vein - Correct assessment of the anatomical proximity of the to the left, right, right-posterior and right-anterior portal and right anterior portal vein pedicles - Correct estimation of the resection extent in Correlation with the actual extent of surgery - Subject satisfaction with the printed 3D model, the virtual 3D model and the 2D CT representation with regard to the understanding of the location of the mass in the liver segments according to Couinaud - Subject satisfaction with the 3D printed model, the virtual 3D model and the 2D CT representation regarding the understanding of the proximity to the hepatic veins - Subject satisfaction with the 3D printed model, the 3D virtual model and the 2D CT image regarding the understanding of the proximity to the Portal vessels - Subject satisfaction with the 3D printed model, the 3D virtual model and the 2D CT image regarding the understanding of the extent of resection - Subgroup analyses according to profession (medical student, radiologist, surgeon - each m/f/d) and level of training (senior physician, specialist, assistant in further training/ each m/f/d) - Subgroup analyses regarding the localisation of the liver tumour (central vs. peripheral)
