Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains a critical neurosurgical emergency with high mortality and long-term disability. Despite advancements in minimally invasive techniques, procedural precision remains limited by hematoma complexity and resource disparities, particularly in underserved regions where 68% of global ICH cases occur. Therefore, the authors aimed to introduce a deep learning-based decision support and planning system to democratize surgical planning and reduce operator dependence.
