UCSF neurosurgeon @herveyjumper.bsky.social & his @umich.edu colleagues have developed an intraoperative tool called FastGlioma that uses AI to help neurosurgeons see in real-time where tumor cells have infiltrated brain tissue. 🧪 braintumorcenter.ucsf.edu/news/how-ai-...
@ucsfcancer.bsky.social

Graphic showing an MRI scan of a low grade glioma below a headline that says, How AI is Changing Brain Tumor Surgery. Subheading says: High-tech imaging approaches allow neurosurgeons to interpret tissue samples during surgery to remove previously invisible malignant cells.
