A revolution in the use of artificial intelligence tools in the field of medicine
The use of artificial intelligence tools is rapidly increasing in the fields of medicine, especially in helping doctors detect and treat various diseases.
And he created a number of Scientists In Britain, an artificial intelligence technology, which they said would transform the treatment of brain aneurysms.
The researchers explained that treatment of brain aneurysms can be transformed through a software platform supported by artificial intelligence.
The researchers indicated that the technique called (PreSize) was more accurate than experienced neurosurgeons in placing stents inside the arteries to treat cerebral aneurysms, according to the British Sky News network.

Brain aneurysm
A brain aneurysm is a condition in which the wall of an artery in the brain is weakened, causing it to swell like a balloon.
The aneurysm occurs as a weak or thin spot on the wall of blood vessels in the brain that fill with blood.
An aneurysm can lead to bleeding in the brain, a medical emergency that can cause permanent brain damage or death.
Bracing therapy
Stent therapy is a surgical procedure, under general anesthesia, in which a stent is inserted into the aneurysm to prevent its rupture.
A stent is a mesh tube that is opened to divert blood flow, avoiding additional pressure that could cause the aneurysm to rupture.
The stent consists of a small metal mesh that is held in place by stents. The stent helps support the artery wall and prevents it from bulging again.
Overall, stent treatment is considered an effective and safe surgical procedure to treat brain aneurysms.
Stent therapy offers a number of benefits, including being highly effective in preventing aneurysm rupture, being a less invasive procedure than traditional surgery, and a shorter recovery time.
PreSize technology
Dr. Katrina Springer, founder of Oxford Heart Beat, which is behind the PreSize technology, explained that stents are usually placed using a catheter in the thigh, and x-rays are used to ensure they are delivered to the correct place, but there are potential complications as a result of this procedure, for example If the stent is small, it can detach from the blood vessel and start moving around the body’s blood circulation, which represents a big problem. If it is too large, it can rupture the blood vessel.
Springer added that the PreSize technology provides an accurate image of the patient’s brain, and even creates a digital copy similar to it, and tests the placement of the stent in this copy while accurately predicting the effects resulting from the operation, before applying the procedure in reality.
The team indicated that the technology can be used in the operating room to try different stents and determine which one will work best, stressing that a fraction of a millimeter in the size of the stent may make a difference in the failure or success of the surgical procedure.
PreSize technology has been used so far in operations involving 375 patients, in 7 hospitals in England, Scotland, Germany, Finland and Ukraine.
The researchers confirmed that they were more accurate in predicting where the stent would “land” in the brain than experienced neurosurgeons. Its accuracy reached 95%, while the accuracy of doctors reached 81%.
However, the team stressed the need for more research before any possible deployment of the technology on a larger scale.
Springer noted that artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize health care, but before we adopt it, we must carefully test new systems.
