| Research Abstract |
We applied elastography to the field of liver surgery, and evaluated its efficacy in intraoperative tumor diagnosis, noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis, and virtual palpation in laparoscopic surgery. We proposed a parameter of “stiffness” as a novel clinical tool in the tumor diagnosis or liver fibrosis. In laparoscopic surgery where palpation is abandoned, we evaluate the efficacy of elastography as virtual palpation
