Application of Machine Learning in the Field of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring: A Narrative Review
2022
Dougho Park | Injung Kim
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is being applied to a wide range of surgical fields as a diagnostic tool to protect patients from neural injuries that may occur during surgery. However, several contributing factors complicate the interpretation of IONM, and it is labor- and training-intensive. Meanwhile, machine learning (ML)-based medical research has been growing rapidly, and many studies on the clinical application of ML algorithms have been published in recent years. Despite this, the application of ML to IONM remains limited. Major challenges in applying ML to IONM include the presence of non-surgical contributing factors, ambiguity in the definition of false-positive cases, and their inter-rater variability. Nevertheless, we believe that the application of ML enables objective and reliable IONM, while overcoming the aforementioned problems that experts may encounter. Large-scale, standardized studies and technical considerations are required to overcome certain obstacles to the use of ML in IONM in the future.
