Artificial intelligence (AI) now enables automated interpretation of medical images for clinical use. However, AI's potential use for interventional images (versus those involved in triage or diagnosis), such as for guidance during surgery, remains largely untapped. This is because surgical AI systems are currently trained using post hoc analysis of data collected during live surgeries, which has fundamental and practical limitations, including ethical considerations, expense, scalability, data integrity, and a la…
