Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances pancreatic imaging by aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. While promising for personalized medicine, challenges like study heterogeneity must be addressed for clinical integration.
Area of Science:
- Radiology and Medical Imaging
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Oncology and Gastroenterology
Background:
- Pancreatic pathologies necessitate multimodal imaging (CT, MRI, PET) for diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment planning.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing medical imaging with applications in segmentation, detection, characterization, and treatment response prediction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a narrative review assessing the current literature on AI applications in pancreatic imaging.
- To explore the utility of AI tools, including computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) and radiomics, in managing pancreatic diseases.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature search and synthesis of existing studies on AI in pancreatic imaging.
- Analysis of AI applications for both non-oncological and oncological pancreatic conditions.
Main Results:
- AI, through CAD and radiomics, shows significant promise in pancreatic imaging for both benign and malignant conditions.
- AI facilitates personalized patient management strategies by improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment stratification.
- Current AI applications demonstrate potential for enhancing lesion detection, characterization, and predicting treatment outcomes.
Conclusions:
- AI in pancreatic imaging is a rapidly developing field with substantial potential for clinical practice.
- Overcoming challenges, particularly study heterogeneity, is crucial for the successful integration of AI into routine clinical workflows.
- AI tools offer a promising avenue for advancing personalized medicine in the management of pancreatic diseases.
