The role of artificial intelligence in diagnostic neurosurgery: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied in diagnostic neurosurgery, enhancing precision and decision-making in neuro-oncology, vascular, functional, and spinal subspecialties. Despite its potential, variability in outcomes necessitates a systematic review of its performance and applicability.

Methods

A comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, and ClinicalTrials.gov was conducted from January 2020 to January 2025. Inclusion criteria comprised studies utilizing AI for diagnostic neurosurgery, reporting quantitative performance metrics. Studies were excluded if they focused on non-human subjects, lacked clear performance metrics, or if they did not directly relate to AI applications in diagnostic neurosurgery. Risk of bias was asse
