Researchers validated AI-driven facial blurring software to safeguard privacy during remote interventional radiology procedures.
Key Details
- 1AI-based facial blurring software, originally developed for TV, was adapted for IR teleproctoring to ensure patient privacy.
- 2The BlurOn system from Nippon Television Network and NTT Data removes identifiers before video leaves the IR suite.
- 3Proof-of-concept and multi-institutional clinical trials included thoracic draining, central venous port insertions, and hepatic arterial infusion procedures.
- 4All four procedures completed successfully; video quality and delays were satisfactory for remote guidance and education.
- 5Both operators and remote viewers found the setup straightforward and workflow-friendly, noting educational and practical benefits.
Why It Matters
Addressing privacy concerns is a critical step for broader adoption of remote telementoring in IR, potentially expanding expert access and advanced procedure dissemination globally. This AI tool may help standardize secure, privacy-compliant teleproctoring workflows in interventional practice.
