#AI for #Endoscopic Stone Surgery: What’s Next?
Endourology could benefit greatly from integration of AI to refine diagnostics and enhance training and postoperative care.
Check out our mini review from the @Uroweb Section of Endourology, published in @EurUrolFocus
Pieter De Backer retweeted
Our new paper is one of the first out there on force feedback (FFB) technology with the #dV5 @IntuitiveSurg
We studied the prototype robot almost 2 years before product launch and saw that FFB allowed less use of force, more efficiency, and less trauma, while suturing

🚀Revolutionizing surgery with AI at @Orsi_Innotech!
For the first time in the 🌎, 4 AI models including real-time organ segmentation, phase recognition, anonymization, and 3D AR, were used in a RAPN by Prof. @alexmottrie at OLV hospital Aalst, powered by @NVIDIAAI IGX ORIN. 🤖
Very well deserved @kenzo_mestdagh !!
Best poster at #ERUS24. Thank you to everyone involved for the smooth collaborations! Incredibly grateful for the opportunity, on to the next adventure!

Amazing turnout for our #AI in #Surgery course at #SRS2024 @socroboticsurg
👉🏼 multi-disciplinary (clinical-AI) partnerships are critical
👉🏼 technology is great, but it needs to be applied with intention
👉🏼 improved patient outcomes should be the goal of any adoption of technology
@pidebacker @TGrantcharovMD @THeniford @ddonoho @Proximie @DrNadineHH @mytheator @IntuitiveSurg @MethodAi @nvidia @TouchSurgery @JNJMedTech
We need a bigger room next year!
