Using Artificial Intelligence to predict success in Ovarian Cancer Surgery
Whenever surgery is performed for ovarian cancer, the goal is to remove any visible cancer from the abdomen, which results in the best outcomes. Currently, this decision is made based on the surgeon’s subjective assessment of preoperative CT Scans. We aim to harness the power of artificial intelligence to predict who will have a successful surgery using AI-enhanced radiomics to predict outcomes.
