Artificial Intelligence May Support Endoscopic Diagnosis of Early Gastric Cancer
The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in early gastric cancer (GC) is more important than in advanced GC since early GC is not easily identified in clinical practice. Now, the findings of a new study support the diagnostic accuracy of AI in the diagnosis of early GC from endoscopic images. More...19 May 2022
Surgical Robot Uses Preoperative CT Scans of Patients to Plan out Spinal Fusions
A novel technology allows orthopedic surgeons to upload preoperative CT scans of patients into a next generation robotic platform to plan out the procedure in advance and calculate trajectories of implants for spinal operations like fusions, which allows for the placement of screws more safely and accurately.
