(Left) The new technology helps medical staff identify the guidewires by simply taking a photo of all the medical instruments with a smartphone or tablet. (Right) The AI image-based system then could accurately detect guidewires (as indicated by the circle) from other medical instruments using object recognition and data augmentation techniques.
