The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has led to notable advancements in patient care, particularly in complex fields like spinal surgery. Preoperative assessments, once limited to manual evaluations and traditional imaging techniques, now benefit from AI-powered tools that help surgeons plan procedures with enhanced precision. Dr. Larry Davidson, a recognized expert in spinal surgery, highlights how these advanced technologies are transforming spinal surgery approaches, contributing to improved outcomes, faster recovery, and reduced complication risks.
The Role of AI in Preoperative Assessments
Traditionally, preoperative assessments for spinal surgery involved a combination of patient history, physical exams, and imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. While effective, these methods can sometimes fall short when it comes to providing a comprehensive, real-time view of the spine’s structure and any potential risks associated with surgery. Surgeons often rely on manual interpretations of the images, which can lead to varying …
