Artificial Intelligence and Interventional Surgical Robots

What does AI bring to interventional surgical robots? Interventional surgical robots remove the physician from X-ray hazards, enable surgeries and stenting without compromising safety, and allow increased precision. Image navigation is the eye and brain of interventional robots, playing a crucial role in both diagnoses and as the primary guidance tool during interventions. Fortunately, powerful artificial intelligence (AI) technology is penetrating the medical imaging arena, holding significant promise for creating an'eye-hand-brain' collaborative system for interventional robots and optimizing fluoroscopic interventional procedures. From preoperative treatment plans to intraoperative imaging navigation and postoperative imaging follow-ups, AI can help realize image-guided precision medical visualization and provide physicians with additional information not available through conventional approaches.
