Journal of Neurosurgery: Case Lessons, cilt.5, sa.19, 2023 (Scopus)
BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to report one of the significant applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it affects everyday clinical practice in neurosurgery. The authors present a case in which a patient was diagnosed via an AI algorithm during ongoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). According to this algorithm, the corresponding physicians were immediately warned, and the patient received prompt appropriate treatment. OBSERVATIONS A 46-year-old female presenting with nonspecific headache was admitted to undergo MRI. Scanning revealed an intraparenchymal mass that was detected by an AI algorithm running on real-time patient data while the patient was still in the MRI scanner. The day after MRI, a stereotactic biopsy was performed. The pathology report confirmed an isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type diffuse glioma. The patient was referred to the oncology department for evaluation and immediate treatment. LESSONS This is the first report of a glioma diagnosed by an AI algorithm and a subsequent prompt operation in the literature—the first of many and an example of how AI will enhance clinical practice.
