Brain surgeons now use AI to identify tumors before the skull is closed

At the Princess Máxima Center in the Netherlands, artificial intelligence is revolutionizing neurosurgery. Meet Sturgeon, an artificial intelligence tool that assists doctors in diagnosing brain tumors during surgery with an astonishing 90% accuracy within 40 minutes. Instead of enduring a week-long wait for lab results, surgeons now receive real-time insights while the brain remains exposed.

Constructed utilizing nanopore DNA sequencing and trained on an impressive 45 million simulations, Sturgeon is already making a significant impact on life-saving decisions. Although still in the trial phase, this groundbreaking technology has the potential to extend to various cancers, infections, and rare disorders, revolutionizing diagnosis and treatment across the medical field
