Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is effective for detecting pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (pNEN), but its accuracy relies heavily on the operator and is often time-intensive due to pNEN's resemblance to normal pancreas and other lesions.
- Researchers developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) system called iEUS to enhance the identification of pNEN and various pancreatic lesions from EUS images, using a dataset of 12,200 images.
- In a study involving 573 patients, iEUS demonstrated high accuracy (84.2% for pNEN and 88.2% for multiple lesion types) that surpassed novice endosonographers and matched experienced ones, ultimately improving diagnostic sensitivity for end
