Purpose: We are attempting to develop a navigation system for safe and effective peripancreatic lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer surgery. As a preliminary study, we examined whether or not the peripancreatic dissection line could be learned by a machine learning model (MLM).
Methods: Among the 41 patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy between April 2019 and January 2020, we selected 6 in whom the pancreatic contour was relatively easy to trace. The pancreatic contour was annotated by a trainer surgeon in 1242 images captured from the video recordings. The MLM was trained using the annotated images from five of the six patients. The pancreatic contour was then segmented by the trained MLM using images from the remaining patient. The same procedure was repeated for all six combinations.
Results: The median maximum intersection over union of each image was 0.708, which was higher than the threshold (0.5). However, the pancreatic contour was misidentified in parts where fatty tissue or thin vessels overlaid the pancreas in some cases.
Conclusion: The contour of the pancreas could be traced relatively well using the trained MLM. Further investigations and training of the system are needed to develop a practical navigation system.

Accurately extracting organs from medical images provides radiologist with more comprehensive evidences to clinical diagnose, which offers up a higher accuracy and efficiency. However, the key to achieving accurate segmentation lies in abundant clues for contour distinction, which has a high demand for the network architecture design and its practical training status. To this end, we design auxiliary and refined constraints to optimize the energy function by supplying additional guidance in training procedure, thus promoting model's ability to capture information.

Introduction: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly lethal malignancy originating in the bile ducts, often diagnosed late with poor prognosis. Differentiating benign from malignant biliary tumors remains challenging, necessitating advanced diagnostic techniques.
Objective: This study aims to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) using advanced convolutional neural networks (CCNs) for the classification and segmentation of EUS images, specifically targeting dCCAs, the pancreas, and the bile duct.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the value of radiomics features derived from baseline computed tomography (CT) scans and volumetric measurements to predict overall survival (OS) in patients with nonsurgical pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treated with a chemotherapy combination regimen of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX).
Methods: In this retrospective single-institution study, 131 patients with nonsurgical PDAC who received FOLFIRINOX neoadjuvant chemotherapy between December 2012 and November 2021 were included. Pretreatment contrast-enhanced CT images were obtained for all patients before inclusion.
