How might artificial intelligence enhance ultrasound-guided procedures in interventional radiology?

Derek W. Cool, MD, PhD FRCPC
Interventional Radiologist and Assistant Professor, Western University

Talk summary: Derek discussed the potential application of artificial intelligence to enhance and expand image-guided procedures within the field of interventional radiology. The current challenges faced in ultrasound-guided interventions in the abdomen, including percutaneous ablation of solid organ malignancies, was the primary focus. The potential value of AI to intra-procedure multi-modality image fusion, tumour and instrument segmentation, and needle navigation was reviewed
