Three-dimensional (3D) deformation of the liver under
free breathing was analyzed using branching structure of
portal veins. A series of sagittal, multi-slice fast
steady-state (FIESTA) images were acquired in a healthy
volunteerfs liver under slow-paced free respiration and
were reconstructed to isotropic volume data. Branching
points of the portal veins included in the volume were
extracted by using our in-house 3D image processing
software. The software-extracted branching points
exhibited that the liver constricts in right-left (RL)
direction for about 12 mm when came down to inferior
with maximum inhalation.
