Artificial intelligence is already making its way into hospitals, where doctors say it could be a game changer impacting everything from diagnostics to treatment to research.
In Dr. Allan Conway's operating room, the day starts with a good old fashioned scrub, a classic ritual for a surgery that's anything but traditional.A leading vascular surgeon at Marin Health Medical Center, Conway is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence to treat aneurysms, known as the silent killer. 'It's exciting. It can analyze and help us identify exactly where the aneurysm is,' Conway said.
Conway is using state-of-the-art AI technology called Cydar Maps, which creates a detailed 3D image of the patient's anatomy. 'Before, we had to do a lot of X-rays, inject a lot of X-ray dye to show us this map. Now we know exactly where the aorta is, we know where the aneurysm is,' Conway said.The AI images of the aneurysm are projected onto the operating room screens, giving doctors a clear view of the problem in real time.
