Analysis of key technologies and intelligent development trends for tumor surgery navigation platforms

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and multimodal imaging technology, intelligent surgical navigation systems have become a research hotspot in the field of precision tumor treatment. Due to clinical characteristics of tumor surgery—such as blurred lesion boundaries, complex anatomical structures, and high requirements for functional preservation—there are higher demands for precision, real-time performance, and adaptability of surgical navigation. This article analyzes the current development status of tumor surgery navigation platforms both in China and internationally, outlines the core components of intelligent surgical navigation systems, delves into the key technical issues in the application of existing surgery navigation systems in tumor treatment and the driving role of AI technology, discusses the urgent problems to be solved in tumor surgical navigation systems, and provides an outlook on the technological development trends of intelligent tumor surgery navigation systems.

Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and multimodal imaging technology, intelligent surgical navigation systems have become a research hotspot in the field of precision tumor treatment. Due to clinical characteristics of tumor surgery—such as blurred lesion boundaries, complex anatomical structures, and high requirements for functional preservation—there are higher demands for precision, real-time performance, and adaptability of surgical navigation. This article analyzes the current development status of tumor surgery navigation platforms both in China and internationally, outlines the core components of intelligent surgical navigation systems, delves into the key technical issues in the application of existing surgery navigation systems in tumor treatment and the driving role of AI technology, discusses the urgent problems to be solved in tumor surgical navigation systems, and provides an outlook on the technological development trends of intelligent tumor surgery navigation systems.
