Artificial intelligence (AI) is already changing the way we diagnose and treat patients in many medical specialties – and thoracic surgery is no exception. The use of intelligent systems can significantly enhance the accuracy of diagnosis, disease staging and decision-making, leading to more targeted and effective treatments.
Image analysis with computational precision
Artificial intelligence can process thousands of radiological images (CT, PET, MRI) in a very short time and recognize patterns that may escape even the most experienced doctor. Early detection of a tumor or discrimination of a suspicious lesion can decisively change the course of the disease.
Staging with high precision
AI can evaluate multiple parameters simultaneously – tumor size, localization, relationship to other organs, possible metastases – providing a more complete picture of the disease. This helps the thoracic surgeon choose the appropriate strategy, minimizing the risk of over- or undertreatment.
Personalized data-driven approach
Big data analysis enables AI to correlate the specificities of each patient with the treatments that have been most successful in similar cases. This makes the choice of surgical or drug treatment more targeted.
Clinical decision support
AI functions as a support tool and not as a replacement for the physician. It provides information, recommendations and possible scenarios based on statistics and scientific data. The final decision is always made by the specialized thoracic surgeon.
The future of diagnosis
Combining artificial intelligence with human expertise creates a powerful diagnostic tool. With accuracy, speed, and personalized information, AI improves safety, efficacy, and treatment outcomes.
Dr. Michalis Klimatsidas utilizes the capabilities of artificial intelligence in the diagnostic process, enhancing the accuracy and speed of the assessment, such as the so-called third (3rd) opinion search, i.e. a final opinion after another second opinion.
