Researchers have developed an AI powered model that 鈥 in 10 seconds 鈥 can determine during surgery if any part of a cancerous brain tumor that could be removed remains, a study published in Nature suggests.鈥疶he technology, called FastGlioma, outperformed conventional methods for identifying what remains of a tumor by a wide margin. Researchers say it has the potential to change the field of neurosurgery by immediately improving comprehensive management of patients with diffuse gliomas.
