Artificial Intelligence Robotically Assisted Brain Surgery

Value of robotically assisted surgery for mitral valve disease.

IMPORTANCE The value of robotically assisted surgery for mitral valve disease is questioned because the high cost of care associated with robotic technology may outweigh its clinical benefits. OBJECTIVE To investigate conditions under which benefits of robotically assisted surgery mitigate high technology costs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Clinical cohort study at a large multispecial...

Planning and Simulation of Robotically Assisted Minimal Invasive Surgery

This paper proposes a framework for pre-operative planning and simulation of robotically assisted Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS). The design of an integrated system is presented for cardiovascular interventions. The approach consists of a planning, validation and simulation phase. The goals of each phase being, respectively, to propose suitable incision sites for the robot, to validate those si...

Artificial Intelligence and brain

From the start, Kurt Godel observed that computer and brain paradigms were considered on a par by researchers and that researchers had misunderstood his theorems. He hailed with displeasure that the brain transcends computers. In this brief article, we point out that Artificial Intelligence (AI) comprises multitudes of human-made methodologies, systems, and languages, and implemented with compu...

Automated instrument tracking in robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery.

This paper describes a practical and reliable image analysis and tracking algorithm to achieve automated instrument localization and scope maneuvering in robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes multiple small incisions on the patient's body through which the surgeon inserts tools and a videoscope in order to conduct an oper...
