Abstract	A demonstration of a fully interactive (20 frames per second) 3D graphics display of the blood vessels supporting the biliary tree and bileduct, automatically segmented from CT data, is given. Emphasis is on speed of interaction, modularity and programmer friendliness of graphics programming environment, use of standard, medium resolution CT data, and the usefulness in preoperative guidance in connection with liver resectioning for removal of tumours/metastases
