We have previously demonstrated that an artificial intelligence (AI) model, AUGUR-AI, can digitally represent in real time where experienced ICGFA users would place their surgical stapler based on their interpretation of the fluorescence imagery. The aim of this study, called AUGUR-AIM, is to validate this method across multiple clinical sites with regard to generalizability, usability and accuracy while generating new algorithms for testing and determining the optimal mode of deployment for the software device.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Method</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This is a prospective, observational, multicentre European study involving patients undergoing resectional colorectal surgery with ICGFA as part of their standard clinical care enrolled over a 1-year period.
