Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the field of urology, offering unprecedented advancements in diagnostics and treatment planning. This review explores the integration of AI across various urological practices, highlighting its impact on improving diagnostic accuracy, optimizing treatment strategies, and enhancing patient monitoring. We examine the role of AI in imaging, pathology, and personalized medicine, as well as its contributions to robotic-assisted surgeries and remote patient care. The article also addresses the ethical and legal challenges posed by AI, including issues of data privacy, algorithmic bias, and regulatory oversight. Despite these challenges, the potential of AI to revolutionize urology is immense, promising more precise, efficient, and patient-centered care. As AI technologies continue to evolve, their integration into urology will likely lead to significant improvements in patient outcomes and the overall quality of care.
期刊介绍:
The Arab Journal of Urology is a peer-reviewed journal that strives to provide a high standard of research and clinical material to the widest possible urological community worldwide. The journal encompasses all aspects of urology including: urological oncology, urological reconstructive surgery, urodynamics, female urology, pediatric urology, endourology, transplantation, erectile dysfunction, and urinary infections and inflammations. The journal provides reviews, original articles, editorials, surgical techniques, cases reports and correspondence. Urologists, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and scientists are invited to submit their contributions to make the Arab Journal of Urology a viable international forum for the practical, timely and state-of-the-art clinical urology and basic urological research.
