Neurosurgery.ai Index
A curated tracker of AI-enabled neurosurgical tools. The first public version emphasizes the fields that should be reviewed before any product is trusted: category, use case, evidence, regulatory status, and clinical workflow fit.
Launch note: this table currently shows the public schema and starter
categories. Product rows should be added only after checking primary
sources such as FDA, CE, NMPA, publications, and company documentation.
| Category | Primary use case | Tracked fields | Clinical review question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Imaging AI | Segmentation, detection, triage | Modality, indication, FDA/CE/NMPA, evidence level | Does it reduce clinical work, or only improve a benchmark? |
| Surgical Planning | Pre-op planning, simulation, navigation | Workflow integration, anatomical scope, validation design | Where does it change the surgical plan? |
| Spine AI | Alignment, measurement, outcomes | Measurement task, reliability, outcome linkage | Is the tool measuring better, or helping decide better? |
| Spinal Cord AI | Chiari, syrinx, intramedullary tumors, IONM | Dataset size, annotation quality, follow-up, validation center | Is the evidence strong enough for a rare-disease workflow? |
| Adoption Signals | Pilots, procurement, partnerships | Hospital, date, source, clinical context | Is this real clinical use or only a press release? |
