Abstract

Multimodal imaging advances liver resection surgery by integrating CT, MRI, and intraoperative ultrasound for real-time navigation. This approach enhances surgical precision, improves tumor margin delineation, and minimizes complications, leading to better outcomes and efficiency. Despite challenges like cost and complexity, multimodal imaging holds significant clinical value in redefining surgical standards. Standardization, training, and infrastructure are vital to fully realize its potential in hepatobiliary surgery.
