Researchers have developed an AI powered model that -- in 10 seconds -- can determine during surgery if any part of a cancerous brain tumor that could be removed remains.The technology, called FastGlioma, outperformed conventional methods for identifying what remains of a tumor by a wide margin. Researchers say it has the potential to change the field of neurosurgery by immediately improving comprehensive management of patients with diffuse gliomas.

MRI has come a long way since one of its earliest iterations was used to image humans in the 1970s. Since then, the modality has helped reveal the brain's structural and functional activity and the effects of life-threatening events such as stroke. It has also improved the diagnosis of cancer, played a leading role in identifying musculoskeletal injuries, and added value as an adjunctive breast imaging modality.
