Can AI learn a surgeon’s intuition?Researchers from HealthTech Nexus, a collaboration between the University of Twente and Radboud University Medical Centre, are investigating whether artificial intelligence (AI) can learn something that experienced surgeons often do instinctively: estimate tissue tension during surgery. If successful, AI could help surgeons further improve their surgical techniques and potentially reduce complications.Read more
Robot drills through real brain tissue for the first timeResearchers from the University of Twente and Radboudumc (HealthTech Nexus) have steered a tiny screw-shaped robot through real brain tissue, controlled only by a magnet outside the body. The test used sheep brain tissue in the lab. The team built a model that predicts exactly when such a robot loses control, a step towards treating stroke and tumours deep in the brain without open surgery.Read more
