THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN GYNAECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence attracts attention with its applications in the field of health as in many fields. Technological developments in theories and learning algorithms show great progress in information systems used in the medical field. Artificial intelligence offers healthcare professionals the opportunity to make appropriate decisions in case management and diagnosis; therefore, it is used in many areas in the field of medicine. Machine learning and deep learning methods, which are sub-branches of artificial intelligence, detect complex situations from large data sets and make predictions using these situations. Although there are various challenges, the applications of artificial intelligence in gynaecology and obstetrics show a remarkable development. This study aims to investigate the role of artificial intelligence in gynaecology and obstetrics applications. At the same time, with the development and progress of artificial intelligence, the role of artificial intelligence in different stages of pregnancy, ultrasound diagnosis, preterm birth and postpartum period, as well as in gynaecology is discussed.

Jinekoloji ve Doğumda Yapay Zekanın Rolü

Abstract

Yapay zekanın gelişmesi, birçok alanda olduğu gibi sağlık alanındaki uygulamalarıyla da dikkat çekmektedir. Teorilerdeki ve öğrenme algoritmalarındaki teknolojik gelişmeler, tıbbi alanda kullanılan bilişim sistemlerinde büyük ilerleme göstermektedir. Yapay zeka, sağlık profesyonellerine vaka yönetimi ve teşhis konularında uygun karar alma imkanı sunmakta; bu nedenle tıp alanında birçok alanda kullanılmaktadır. Yapay zekanın alt dalları olan makine öğrenimi ve derin öğrenme yöntemleri, büyük veri kümelerinden karmaşık durumları tespit etmekte ve bu durumları kullanarak tahminlerde bulunmaktadır. Her ne kadar çeşitli zorluklar bulunsa da yapay zekanın jinekolojideki ve doğumdaki uygulamaları dikkate değer bir gelişme göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, jinekoloji ve obstetri uygulamalarında yapay zekanın rolünü araştırmayı hedeflemektedir. Aynı zamanda, yapay zekanın gelişimi ve ilerlemesiyle birlikte, gebeliğin farklı aşamalarında, ultrason tanısında, erken doğum ve doğum sonrası dönemde ayrıca jinekolojide yapay zekanın rolü ele alınmaktadır.
