AI aligns surgical X-rays with a patient’s 3D scans
MIT and collaborating researchers have developed software that adapts to an individual patient and matches live X-rays with earlier three-dimensional scans.
The team reports rapid, precise alignment in its tests. The work is intended to help guide minimally invasive procedures; it does not establish that the system improves patient outcomes in routine care.
