The Role of Radiology in Enhancing Surgical Precision and Outcomes

Abstract

Advancements in imaging data analysis have profoundly impacted surgical practices, enhanced precision and improved patient outcomes. This review explores the diverse applications of imaging in surgery, including preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation, postoperative monitoring, and training simulations. Technologies such as CT, MRI, 3D reconstructions, augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled surgeons to perform more precise and safer interventions. Furthermore, integrating these technologies with surgical workflows has significantly reduced complications and enhanced recovery processes. Future trends, such as personalized surgical approaches and AI-driven imaging solutions, are also discussed, highlighting their potential to shape the future of surgery.
