Summary
Researchers at Toronto’s University Health Network are using artificial intelligence to build interactive 3D models of cancer patients’ anatomy, including tumours, to help patients understand procedures and surgeons plan operations. The models, described as digital twins, could show where a tumour is and how its removal may affect the body. The technology has not yet gone through clinical trials, and researchers are still investigating how to account for changes in body position between scans and surgery.
