This paper presents a novel system that utilizes AI to aid neurosurgeons in precisely identifying and localizing brain tumors. The system was trained on a dataset of brain MRI scans and utilized deep learning algorithms for segmentation and classification. Evaluation of the system on a separate set of brain MRI scans demonstrated an average Dice similarity coefficient of 0.87. The system was also evaluated through a user experience test involving the Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Ulm, with results showing significant improvements in accuracy, efficiency, and reduced cognitive load and stress levels. Additionally, the system has demonstrated adaptability to various surgical scenarios and provides personalized guidance to users. These findings indicate the potential for AI to enhance the quality of neurosurgical interventions and improve patient outcomes. Future work will explore integrating this system with robotic surgical tools for minimally invasive surgeries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/auto-2023-0061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,17]],"date-time":"2023-07-17T07:23:38Z","timestamp":1689578618000},"page":"537-546","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Development of an AI-driven system for neurosurgery with a usability study: a step towards minimal invasive robotics"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Ramy A.","family":"Zeineldin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group Computer Assisted Medicine, Reutlingen University , Reutlingen , Germany"},{"name":"Faculty of Electronic Engineering (FEE), Menoufia University , Menouf , Egypt"}]},{"given":"Denise","family":"Junger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group Computer Assisted Medicine, Reutlingen University , Reutlingen , Germany"}]},{"given":"Franziska","family":"Mathis-Ullrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering (AIBE) , Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg (FAU) , Erlangen , Germany"}]},{"given":"Oliver","family":"Burgert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group Computer Assisted Medicine, Reutlingen University , Reutlingen , Germany"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025101610050777356_j_auto-2023-0061_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"K.
