News Release：Announced on March 7th, 2019
The collaborative development project by
Olympus, Oita University, and Fukuoka Instituteof Technology played a role in the success of theworld’s first AI guided surgery~ Software developed forgenerating training data of surgicalendoscope images for AI ~In this research, Olympus developed software that could
easily link locations of landmark organs and blood vessels inendoscopic images during LC. Conventionally, linking
information had to be manually entered in thousands ofimages, however, by using this software, the burden of sucha task could be greatly reduced, and the AI was able tolearn higher quality training data.
