Nerve Identification

Nerve identification is crucial for various medical procedures, from surgical interventions to pain management via nerve blocks, and is currently a focus of intense research. Efforts are concentrating on improving the accuracy and automation of nerve localization using advanced imaging techniques like ultrasound and diffusion MRI, often employing deep learning architectures such as U-Net and transformer networks, sometimes incorporating anatomical priors to enhance performance. These advancements hold significant promise for improving the precision and efficiency of surgical procedures, reducing nerve damage, and ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.
