Artificial Intelligence-assisted near-infrared fluorescence angiography with indocyanine green after colorectal resections

 

 

Application field

Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer

Technology

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Vision, Data Analysis

Goals

Development of artificial intelligence-based analysis method in indocyanine green (ICG) angiography to perform real-time perfusion analysis:

  • Identification of the optimal line for cancer resection

 

  • Assessment of the goodness of the vascularization

The AI techniques applied to near-infrared fluorescence angiography with indocyanine green is proposed as objective method to support surgeons in their decision-making processes, improving treatment and post-operative complications prevention.

Activities

  • Identification of appropriate tracker algorithms to enable fast and accurate tracking of the

selected region of interest.

  • Data pre-processing (e.g., appropriate color space for analysis) to make it suitable for the machine learning system.
  • Design and implementation of AI systems for the evaluation of bowel perfusion during colorectal surgery.

Challenges

  • Improving the accuracy of the system using temporal aspect and variation of ICG fluorescence intensity over time.
  • Developing AI systems for the prediction of the optimal resection line in laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer.
  • Developing algorithms on portable devices with reduced computational power and memory capacity.
