2018 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting-709. The Neurosurgery Ancestry Tree

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Ghais Haboub, a fifth-year neurosurgery resident at the Cleveland Clinic, presents his project on the neurosurgery ancestry tree. The project aims to preserve neurosurgeons' training history and create a visualization tool for neurosurgery ancestry data. Data was collected on 162 chairmen from various sources, and a graph was created to represent the connections between them. The project is currently in two dimensions but could be expanded to three dimensions using virtual reality technology. The goal is to include all neurosurgeons and analyze sub-graphs. The project's website is available to the public. This project introduces new applications of technology in neurosurgery.
