Artificial intelligence intra-operative surgical guidance system and method of use
The inventive subject matter is directed to an artificial intelligence intra-operative surgical guidance system and method of use. The artificial intelligence intra-operative surgical guidance system is made of a computer executing one or more automated artificial intelligence models trained on data layer datasets collections to calculate surgical decision risks, and provide intra-operative surgical guidance; and a display configured to provide visual guidance to a user.
1. A method of providing intra-operative surgical guidance to a surgeon during a procedure, comprising the steps of:
providing an artificial intelligence intra-operative surgical guidance system comprising: a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with computer-readable instructions which form a software module and a processor to process the instructions, wherein the software module is comprised of a data layer, an algorithm layer and an application layer, and the system is trained to calculate intra-operative surgical decision risks by applying an at least one outcome classifier, wherein one of the outcome classifiers is a classification of intra-operative radiographic images,
registering a best-matching non-operative side to a current operative side radiographic image, wherein the step of registering is comprised of obtaining subject radiographic image data comprised of: a radiographic image of a nonoperative side of a subject's anatomy and an intra-operative radiographic image of an operative side of the subject's anatomy, wherein the step of registering a best-matching non-operative side to a current operative side radiographic-image, wherein the computing platform automatically maps a grid template to an anatomical structure to register an image of the nonoperative side of the subject's anatomy with an image of the intra-operative radiographic image of the operative side of the subject's anatomy to provide a registered composite image;
identifying an anatomical structure in the registered composite image, wherein the computing platform automatically identifies by an automated image segmentation algorithm an anatomical structure in said of intra-operative radiographic images;
receiving a plurality of intra-operative images of the subject's anatomy;
automatically mapping the grid template to the anatomical structure to register an image of the nonoperative side of the subject's anatomy with an image of the intra-operative radiographic image of the operative side of the subject's anatomy to provide an anatomical measurement of the subject's anatomy for each of the plurality of intra-operative images; and
intra-operatively applying the at least one outcome classifier to the composite image to determine an optimal or a sub-optimal risk score for failure if the surgeon proceeds with a present operative pathway, wherein the anatomical measurement of the subject's anatomy is one of said at least one outcome classifier.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the radiographic image of the nonoperative side is selected from the group consisting of: a preoperative image and a reference image.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein the nonoperative side corresponds to an anatomical region of the patient's anatomy.
