La nueva técnica de IA podría hacer que las cirugías mínimamente invasivas sean más seguras y precisas

Este método específico para el paciente, llamado xvr, ayuda a los médicos a usar rayos X para la navegación quirúrgica en campos como la ortopedia y la neurocirugía.

Researchers created a new technique that accurately and rapidly matches X-rays captured during surgery with a patient’s preoperative 3D medical scan. This method could make it easier for clinicians to precisely pilot minimally invasive surgical tools, leading to faster and safer procedures. Clinicians perform many minimally invasive surgeries using real-time X-rays to help them steer devices like catheters and endoscopes through tiny incisions. But since X-rays are flat images, it can be challenging to determine exactly where surgical tools are located and oriented within the patient’s body, increasing the risk of complications. To help localize surgical devices, clinicians may manually align X-rays with preoperative 3D medical images, such as CT
