Abstract

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, especially deep learning (DL) techniques, have shown promising results for various computer vision tasks in the field of surgery. However, AI-guided navigation during microscopic surgery for real-time surgical guidance and decision support is much more complex, and its efficacy has yet to be demonstrated. We propose a model dedicated to the evaluation of DL-based semantic segmentation of chorda tympani (CT) during microscopic surgery.
