### AI overview

MIT researchers and collaborators developed xvr, an AI method that adapts to individual patients and rapidly aligns intraoperative X-rays with preoperative 3D medical scans. The technique is intended to improve surgical navigation for minimally invasive procedures.

### Source excerpt

This patient-specific method, called xvr, helps doctors use X-rays for surgical navigation in fields such as orthopedics and neurosurgery.
