Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the application value of artificial intelligence algorithm-based intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) in neurosurgical glioma resection. 108 patients with glioma in a hospital were selected and divided into the experimental group (intraoperative magnetic resonance assisted glioma resection) and the control group (conventional surgical experience resection), with 54 patients in each group. After the resection, the tumor resection rate, NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) score, Karnofsky score, and postoperative intracranial infection were calculated in the two groups. The results revealed that the average tumor resection rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in Karnofsky score before and after the operation in the experimental group (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in NIHSS score between the experimental group and the control group after resection (P > 0.05). The number of patients with postoperative neurological deficits in the experimental group was smaller than that in the control group. In addition, there was no significant difference in infection rates between the two groups after glioma resection (P > 0.05). In summary, intraoperative magnetic resonance navigation on the basis of a segmentation dictionary learning algorithm has great clinical value in neurosurgical glioma resection. It can maximize the removal of tumors and ensure the integrity of neurological function while avoiding an increased risk of postoperative infection, which is of great significance for the treatment of glioma.
