New AI technique could make minimally invasive surgeries safer and more precise

This patient-specific method, called xvr, helps doctors use X-rays for surgical navigation in fields such as orthopedics and neurosurgery.

Researchers at MIT have developed a new AI technique called xvr, which enables doctors to use X-rays for surgical navigation in minimally invasive surgeries.

This patient-specific method is designed for fields such as orthopedics and neurosurgery, where precise navigation is crucial.

The xvr technique helps doctors to better understand the spatial relationships between different structures during surgery, potentially leading to safer and more precise procedures.
