AI system color-codes anatomy during surgery for first time in UK

Surgeons in the UK have used an artificial-intelligence system called Eureka during an operation for the first time. The tool assigns colors to different anatomical structures to assist doctors in identifying tissues they need to protect or remove.

How the system works Eureka processes visual data from the surgical field and overlays color labels on organs and vessels in real time. The color coding is designed to reduce the risk of unintended damage to critical structures. No patient outcomes or complication rates have been released.
