AI Speeds Up Identification of Brain Tumor Type; Analysis Possible During Surgery

What type of brain tumor does this patient have? AI technology helps to determine this as early as during surgery, within 1.5 hours. This process normally takes a week. The new technology allows neurosurgeons to adjust their surgical strategies on the spot. Today, researchers from UMC Utrecht and researchers, pathologists, and neurosurgeons from the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology and Amsterdam UMC have published about this study on October 11, 2023 in Nature. The open-access article is titled “Ultra-Fast Deep-Learned CNS Tumour Classification During Surgery.”
