Episode overview
AI is increasingly impacting neurosurgery and the future of the OR. In this episode of Radiology Rewired, we welcome Dr. Sabareesh Natarajan, a triple-trained neurosurgeon, neurointerventionalist, and radiation specialist in San Diego.
As both a practicing surgeon and the founder of his own neuroscience practice, Dr. Natarajan brings a rare vantage point: clinician, entrepreneur, and systems thinker. He argues that AI's real promise isn't pattern recognition—it's precision medicine. It's an approach to breaking down the silos that slow acute care, and delivering expert-level treatment no matter where a patient lives.
We get into the ideas reshaping neuroscience: how AI-connected platforms are compressing the time from stroke detection to intervention, why "finding your patient's twin" across thousands of hospitals could guide the best treatment, how robotics and teleoperation could bring remote surgery to underserved communities, and why breaking down clinical silos may matter as much as any single algorithm.
