Defect Detection For Surgical Instrument Quality Assurance
Ensuring the safety of surgical instruments requires reliable detection of visual defects. In current practice, instruments are manually inspected by trained technicians, a process that is labor-intensive, subjective, and prone to human error. Automated defect detection offers a promising solution to reduce mistakes and improve efficiency.
