Description
The patient's tumour was benign but dangerously close to important bloodvessels and nerves, leaving him at risk of going blind.
这位患者的肿瘤虽为良性,但极度靠近重要血管和神经,使其面临失明的风险。
The team trained the AI tool on hundreds of videos of previous operations. They then used the AI tool in real time to help highlight sometimes hidden vessels and nerves, and to mark up the safest place to remove the tumour.
该医疗团队利用数百段过往手术视频对人工智能工具进行了训练。随后,他们在手术过程中实时使用该人工智能工具,协助凸显一些隐蔽的血管和神经,并标注出切除肿瘤最安全的位置。
Researchers hope that with larger trials, using AI in this way will help surgery become both safer and faster.
研究人员希望随着更大规模试验的开展,以这种方式使用人工智能将有助于让手术变得更加安全和高效。
