AI for Treatment Planning and Surgery
Supporting clinical decisions and enhancing surgical precision
Treatment Decision Support
- AI algorithms help propose personalized treatment plans by analyzing patient histories and medical literature
- In oncology, AI systems evaluate treatment options based on patient-specific factors and outcome data
- These tools augment clinician decision-making with evidence-based recommendations
Surgical Applications
- Robotic surgery platforms like da Vinci increasingly incorporate AI-driven image guidance
- Advanced surgical robots use computer vision to recognize anatomy and safe cutting planes
- Berlin-based Caresyntax uses AI to analyze live surgical video and sensor data
- These systems flag potential issues and improve surgical workflows in real-time
Radiation Therapy
- AI tools auto-contour tumors on imaging scans to speed up radiotherapy planning
- Machine learning models optimize radiation dose distributions for each patient
- Future developments will include AI that predicts which patients will respond to specific therapies
