Live Brain Surgery:

Dr. Akshay Syal takes us to NYU Langone Health where new A.I. technology is diagnosing brain tumors in record time, which opens the doors to possible new life-saving treatments.
A.I. technology has drastically advanced and revolutionized many sectors of the medical industry, but perhaps none more than brain tumor surgery. With the help of artificial intelligence, surgeons now have more effective and reliable ways to diagnose, target, and treat different types of tumors which were once thought impossible by manual means alone.

The primary benefit of A.I.-assisted surgery is that it can more accurately identify, analyze and target tumors, reducing the risk of collateral damage to healthy tissue. This could lead to shorter incision time and improved patient outcomes. In addition, A.I.-assisted diagnostics are often able to detect tumors earlier than manual scans, allowing for an earlier start in treatment.
