Abstract

Knowledge of artificial intelligence will become essential in urology and medicine in the future. Today, computer-aided solutions are used for higher-dimensioned data or complex questions. In urological research, but also in clinical application, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been increasingly used for years and are continuously being developed. ANNs are already successfully used in urology in the field of image recognition in radiology and pathology. ANNs can potentially play a role in decision-making of modern cancer treatment. Today, access to ANN has become comparatively easy.
