Dr. Amin Madani, a staff surgeon in the Sprott Department of Surgery at the University Health Network in Toronto, is part of a team that has developed a form of AI that could help guide surgeons in the operating room to avoid complications or errors.
Typically, a camera would be inserted in an area of the body, such as the abdomen, through a keyhole incision, with the images then broadcast on a monitor. Madani said, by highlighting areas that could result in errors if cut, the prototype will help "augment" the performance of a surgeon.Still a prototype, the AI hasn't yet been used to assist a surgeon in the operating room, but it has been tested to ensure it could work during a live surgery.
