Artificial Intelligence (AI) used to enhance decision making during colorectal cancer surgery for first time

A clinical research study published in the British Journal of Surgery (https://academic.oup.com/bjs/advance-article/doi/10.1093/bjs/znaa004/6032888?searchresult=1) shows that fluorescence guidance (where a fluorescent chemical compound re-emits light with a long wavelength) can enable a colorectal surgeon to assess cancer tissues visually and with more specificity in real-time during surgery, by utilising near-infrared (NIR) light from an administered fluorophore in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI) methods.
