AI reads scans and tissue to forecast surgery risks
NCT ID NCT07537491
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether artificial intelligence can predict serious complications after colorectal cancer surgery by analyzing CT scans, MRI, and tissue images. Researchers will look back at data from 750 past patients and also study 210 future patients. The goal is to see if AI can better identify who is at risk for problems like infections or ICU stays.
