Development of anatomical metrics for objective quantification of critical view of safety

In this study, we presented a pipeline that generates anatomical measures from monocular endoscopic images utilizing a depth estimation model, anatomical segmentation masks, and computational geometry. The diagonal length and surface area of the cystic duct and cystic artery were found to be significantly larger in cases where all CVS criteria are met; this lends support to the use of these anatomical metrics as objective grounds for assessing CVS achievement.

Abstract

In this study, we presented a pipeline that generates anatomical measures from monocular endoscopic images utilizing a depth estimation model, anatomical segmentation masks, and computational geometry. The diagonal length and surface area of the cystic duct and cystic artery were found to be significantly larger in cases where all CVS criteria are met; this lends support to the use of these anatomical metrics as objective grounds for assessing CVS achievement.
