Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Qualitative assessment (sensitivity and specificity of the results) 2. quantitative evaluation of the intraoperatively recorded videos. Re 1. Physicians evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the results based on a subjective, visual assessment of the prospectively recorded surgical videos. They put subjective scores to evaluate sensitivity, false positives and visual support effectiveness. The structures identified by the EUREKA AI system are validated by the surgeons. Re 2. Expert surgeons identify the area of the anatomical target structure in the prospectively recorded surgical videos. Based on that, quantitative evaluation metrics are calculated to evaluate the degree of match between the correct area and the detected area recognised by the AI. The candidates of the evaluation metrics include Recall, Precision, IoU and Dice index. All analyses take place after the operation.	—
