AI edit vs original. The gap is getting real.

If/when this translates to medical imaging:
Segmentation: auto-separate background/foreground to segment tumors, ventricles, vessels, cranial nerves
Super-resolution
Artifact reduction

This screenshot is from a 2024 Google Research post on Med-Gemini. It gets a CT head scan report almost right. It’s been a year and I don’t know how far this has moved since. But it looks very promising.

Same prompt, three AI models: “Pituitary gland and adjacent structures.”

Amazing how different the outputs are. Only one resembles real anatomy. Shows both the potential and the current limits of AI in medical visualization.

Consider frailty status when planning meningioma surgery in the elderly.

Our new study shows that preoperative frailty is a strong predictor of postoperative outcomes, independent of age.

The prognostic role of frailty on outcomes following meningioma resection in the elderly: a matched analysis employing baseline functional status - Acta Neurochirurgica
Introduction Meningioma resection constitutes a substantial portion of neurosurgical practice, with a variety of patient-factors playing a role in outcomes. This study aims to assess the role of frail...

Unusual, rare, and often overlooked - that is exactly why I believe in the power of a well-documented case report.

Our recent publication in Practical Neurology highlights a striking example: Skull base tuberculosis as a rare cause of occipital condyle syndrome.

AI replacing surgeons? I doubt it—surgery is as much hands as it is minds, and that won't change in the next 20 years.
