Artificial intelligence technology, which we are actively facing in many parts of our daily lives, continues to provide significant advantages to humanity in the health sector. An ongoing study gives hope for surgical operations for brain tumors. Here are the details…
Artificial intelligence is conducting an extremely meticulous study
The artificial intelligence system developed as a result of an academic study conducted in the Netherlands takes an active role in the diagnosis process of brain tumors and prevents incomplete/incorrect diagnoses. In addition, the system, which performs detailed risk analysis for critical decisions to be taken during surgical operations, increases the chances of success of treatments.
The system called Sturgeon is basically;
- Detects tumors in the brain.
- By analyzing the DNA of the detected tumors segment by segment, it enables the type of these tumors to be determined.
- It advises on the steps that can be taken regarding the tumors whose type it determines.
The artificial intelligence system, which is still in the testing phase, was able to successfully detect the tumors of 40 of the 45 patients it analyzed during the process. The system was also actively used during the operations, providing guidance on how to intervene in the tumor and how much of the tumor should be removed, if any.
First impressions of Sturgeon are very promising. We believe that it can achieve much more significant successes in the future. So, what do you think about this system? Do you think it could have an important position in the treatment protocol for brain tumors in the future? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section.
