Brief summary

The aim of this study is to develop and validate an artificial intelligence system named iEUS-PCL (intelligent endoscopic ultrasound system-pancreatic cystic lesions) for detecting and multimodal, multi-class diagnosing pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL) during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination.

Detailed description

This multicenter, prospective cohort study aims to develop and validate a multimodal artificial intelligence system named iEUS-PCL for the detection and differential diagnosis of PCL. The model was developed based on retrospectively collected EUS images, EUS features, clinical data and radiological imaging features of patients who underwent EUS examination. The diagnostic performance of iEUS-PCL will be evaluated prospectively in real-time EUS videos and compared with endosonographers' performance.

Interventions

DEVICEiEUS-PCL(intelligent endoscopic ultrasound system- pancreatic cystic lesion)

The iEUS-PCL will automatically detect pancreatic cystic lesions and integrate the patients' EUS images, EUS features, clinical data and radiological imaging features to perform three classification tasks: 1. binary classification: benign/malignant lesions; 2. binary classification: mucinous/non-mucinous lesions; 3. four-category classification: intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm/ mucinous cystic neoplasm/ serous cyst neoplasm/ pancreatic cyst.
