    • Radiofrequency ablation of liver colorectal metastases 

      Tracey, J.; Dimarakis, J.; Zacharoulis, D.; Anderson, J.; Tait, P.; Jiao, L.; Habib, N. (2006)
      Those diseases which medicines do not cure, iron (the knife?) cures; those which iron cannot cure, fire cures; and those which fire cannot cure, are to be reckoned wholly incurable. © 2006 Springer-Verlag/Wien.
    • Three dimensional (3D) computed tomography images reconstruction in liver surgery 

      Damrah, O.; Canelo, R.; Zacharoulis, D.; Tait, P.; Jiao, L. R.; Habib, N. (2006)
      Advancement in radiological imaging technique has been crucial in the development of most of the surgical fields. Planning for operations needs good visualization of the organ and localization of the lesion within it, which ...
