抄録

Objective: Advancements in technology have improved image acquisition and processing in the field of medical imaging, giving medical doctors the tools to implement effective medical care. In plastic surgery, despite advances in anatomical knowledge and technology, problems in preoperative planning for flap surgery remain. Methods: In this study, we propose a new protocol to analyze three-dimensional (3D) photoacoustic tomography images and generate two-dimensional (2D) mapping sheets that can help surgeons identify perforators and the perfusion territory during preoperative planning. The core of this protocol is PreFlap, a new algorithm that converts 3D photoacoustic tomography images into 2D vascular mapping images. Conclusion: Experimental results demonstrate that PreFlap can improve preoperative flap evaluation, thus can greatly saving surgeons' time and improving surgical outcomes.
