AI in Neurosurgical Operation – SCOT and C.I.A.

Abstract

As medical DX is progressing, digitization is also attracting attention in the field of surgery, which greatly depends on the skill and experiences of doctors. The digitization of information output from each device in the operating room has made it possible to accumulate big data. This paper outlines the smart operating room SCOT (Smart Cyber Operating Theater) and the clinical information analyzer named C.I.A. Then, we will discuss current issues and future prospects. SCOT has a network connection function between medical devices in the operating room, and applications running on it can be used for a variety of purposes, such as integrated information navigation system using time-synchronized information, analysis and surgical procedure prediction, so on. In addition, as an application of AI in neurosurgery, we will introduce an outline of the C.I.A., and pros and cons.
