Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing distal bile duct obstruction can be difficult, and this study explores using artificial intelligence (AI) combined with clinical biomarkers to enhance diagnosis of malignant cases.
- Out of 206 patients, AI significantly distinguished between benign and malignant obstructions, showing a median value of 0.991 for malignant and 0.002 for benign cases.
- The AI demonstrated strong performance metrics, with 83.1% sensitivity, 87.2% specificity, and 85.9% accuracy, suggesting it could serve as a helpful tool for diagnosing malignant bile duct obstructions.
