Automated Assessment of Critical View of Safety in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is one of the most common procedures in the US, with more than 1.2M procedures annually. Compared with classical open cholecystectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is associated with significantly shorter recovery period, and hence is the preferred method.

Expression and localization of sterile alpha motif domain containing 5 is associated with cell type and malignancy of biliary tree. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a type of relatively rare neoplasm in adenocarcinoma. The characteristics of CCs as well as biliary epithelial cells are heterogeneous at the different portion of the biliary tree.

Tracing of the Bile-chemotactic migration of juvenile Clonorchis sinensis in rabbits by PET-CT. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 BACKGROUND: Adult Clonorchis sinensis live in the bile duct and cause clonorchiasis. It is known that the C. sinensis metacercariae excyst in the duodenum and migrate up to the bile duct through the common bile duct.

Active Learning-Based Multistage Sequential Decision-Making Model with Application on Common Bile Duct Stone Evaluation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Multistage sequential decision-making scenarios are commonly seen in the healthcare diagnosis process. In this paper, an active learning-based method is developed to actively collect only the necessary patient data in a sequential manner. There are two novelties in the proposed method.

Evaluation of Direct Haptic 4D Volume Rendering of Partially Segmented Data for Liver Puncture Simulation [PDF]
Nature - Scientific Reports, Nature Publishing Group (NPG),
7(671), 2017, 2017 This work presents an evaluation study using a force feedback evaluation framework for a novel direct needle force volume rendering concept in the context of liver puncture simulation. PTC/PTCD puncture interventions targeting the bile ducts have been selected to illustrate this concept.

Bile dynamics within the biliary tract and microfluidic-based bile component detection: A review [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Bilestones are solid masses found in the gallbladder or biliary tract, which block the normal bile flow and eventually result in severe life-threatening complications. Studies have shown that bilestone formation may be related to bile flow dynamics and the concentration level of bile components.

Cystic biliary anomaly in a newborn with features of choledochal cyst and cystic biliary atresia
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2021 Cystic biliary atresia (CBA) and choledochal cysts (CDC) can present similarly with early onset jaundice, conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, and radiographic cystic biliary dilatations. We present the case of an infant antenatally diagnosed with a congenital
