This real-time AI video tool was designed in-house at University College London\u2019s Hawkes Institute and runs on NVIDIA\u2019s Clara IGX computer, according to a Thursday University College London Hospitals (UCLH) NHS Foundation Trust announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Preoperative MRI scans are routinely required before an endoscopic pituitary surgery, such as Hibbert\u2019s operation, according to European neurosurgical guidelines. <strong>(RELATED: AI Is About To Overhaul Entire Health Care Industry\u2014But Is That A Good Thing?)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is trained on more operations than most surgeons see or do in a lifetime and can act like an expert second pair of eyes,\u201d Prof. Hani Marcus, the senior neurosurgeon responsible for the case, said, according to the BBC. Surgical resident Danyal Khan assisted Marcus with the surgery, the UCLH\u2019 Thursday announcement said. <\/p>\n<p>The AI technology used in the operation identifies anatomical structures similarly to the facial recognition function that smartphones use, BBC reported. The AI learned from hundreds of surgical videos, Dr. Sophia Bano, the technical lead for the AI system, said, according to the Guardian.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p>The UCL Hawkes Institute explained how AI is used in endoscopic pituitary surgeries in a March 2025 YouTube video. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=5076\">Two Employees Die Of \u2018Airport Malaria,\u2019 Officials Try To Calm Fears<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RgLwDHfJOMg?si=T_10M3jIXRHmskwt\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an example of AI at its best: patients getting care previously deemed unimaginable thanks to the latest groundbreaking technology,\u201d James Frith, Health Innovation Minister, said, according to the UCLH announcement. \u201cAI needs proper safeguards and we will always ensure that safety is taken seriously.
