AI reads bile duct scans in real time to spot cancer
NCT ID NCT05779436
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help doctors figure out what is causing a narrowing in the bile duct. About 100 adults who are already scheduled for a special scope procedure will take part. The AI analyzes video from the scope in real time to see if it can tell a cancerous narrowing from a non-cancerous one.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years old * Anticipation that patient may undergo POC during an endoscopic retrograde cholangioscopy * Pregnant patients can be included in the study. Use of the POC-CNN does not convey any new risk to the patient nor fetus. * Non-English speaking subjects will be included in the study. Consent for the procedure itself is always done with the assistance of an interpreter via telephone or video. Use of the POC-CNN will be discussed with all patients via this interpreter during the procedure consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Age \<18 years old * No indication that cholangioscopy will be performed during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) * Prisoner
