Deep learning shows strong predictive performance, particularly for larger resection volumes, while geometric and perfusion-based models offer greater interpretability and clinical controllability. The distance-based approach is well suited for maximal parenchyma-sparing resections, whereas perfusion-based modeling is advantageous for tumors near vessels with potential perfusion loss. Our results highlight variations due to different surgical strategies and can thus provide valuable guidance for individual patient\u2019s surgery planning.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11548-026-03798-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]],"date-time":"2026-10-07T13:27:02Z","timestamp":1791379622000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Resection zone prediction for parenchyma-sparing hepatectomy planning: a comparative study of three modeling paradigms"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7050-8828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Janine","family":"Rothert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joy","family":"Rakshit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Judith L.","family":"Salz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florentine","family":"Huettl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Viola","family":"Ehses","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Huber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hauke","family":"Lang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sylvia","family":"Saalfeld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Hille","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"3798_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"229","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21834","volume":"74","author":"F Bray","year":"2024","unstructured":"Bray F, Laversanne M, Sung H, Ferlay J, Siegel RL, Soerjomataram I, Jemal A (2024) Global cancer statistics 2022: Globocan estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries.
