A newly developed AI program can help doctors detect and potentially remove brain cancer that might otherwise be missed during surgery, a new study demonstrates.
FastGlioma missed high-risk residual tumor just under 4% of the time, compared with a nearly 25% miss rate for human doctors relying onNot only that, but the AI can return these results within 10 seconds, making it a potentially powerful aid to surgeons in the middle of removing a brain tumor, researchers said.
“The technology works faster and more accurately than current standard-of-care methods for tumor detection and could be generalized to other pediatric and adult brain tumor diagnoses,” Hollon added in a university news release. “It could serve as a foundational model for guiding brain tumor surgery.”
The team trained FastGlioma's AI using more than 11,000 surgical specimens and 4 million unique microscopic snapshots of healthy brain tissue and cancerous tumors.
