Artificial intelligence in thoracic surgery / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

@#As an emerging technology, artificial intelligence (AI) uses human theory and technology for robots to study, develop, learn and identify human technologies. Thoracic surgeons should be aware of new opportunities that may affect their daily practice by the direct use of AI technology, or indirect use in the relevant medical fields (radiology, pathology, and respiratory medicine). The purpose of this paper is to review the application status and future development of AI associated with thoracic surgery, diagnosis of AI-related lung cancer, prognosis-assisted decision-making programs and robotic surgery. While AI technology has made rapid progress in many areas, the medical industry only accounts for a small part of AI use, and AI technology is gradually becoming widespread in the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and care of diseases. The future of AI is bright and full of innovative perspectives. The field of thoracic surgery has conducted valuable exploration and practice on AI, and will receive more and more influence and promotion from AI.
