Complete title:
eHealth Monthly Focus on PASSPORT - PAtient-Specific Simulation and PreOperative Realistic Training for liver surgery

Description (short summary):  
Surgery has the best survival rate in liver pathologies. However, the eligibility is limited due to a bad knowledge of each patient's hepatic specificities. The PASSPORT (PAtient-Specific Simulation and PreOperative Realistic Training for liver surgery) project will provide new models and tools to overcome such limits.

PASSPORT for Liver Surgery aims at increasing surgical eligibility by offering preoperative surgical simulation based on patient-specific modelling that combines anatomical, mechanical, appearance and biological preoperative modelled information. PASSPORT also aims at developing software allowing to use these models for hepatic surgical planning and education.
