AI could spot pancreatic cysts more accurately than doctors
NCT ID NCT07543263
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study will test a new artificial intelligence tool called iEUS-PCL that helps doctors identify and classify pancreatic cysts during an endoscopic ultrasound. The goal is to see if the AI can accurately tell whether a cyst is benign or malignant, and what type it is. About 176 adults with suspected pancreatic cysts will take part, and the AI's results will be compared to those of human specialists.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients aged ≥18 years scheduled for EUS with suspected pancreatic cystic lesions based on clinical symptoms, medical history, laboratory tests or radiological examinations, and who agree to participate in the research and voluntarily sign the informed consent. 2. Patients with no prior history of treatment for pancreatic lesions. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with absolute contraindications to EUS examination. 2. Pregnancy or lactating. 3. Uncorrectable coagulopathy (PTT\>50 seconds or INR\>1.5) and/or uncorrectable thrombocytopenia(platelet count\<50×109/L). 4. Upper gastrointestinal obstruction. 5. Patients who underwent surgical treatment or anatomical alterations of the pancreas due to lesions in other thoracic and/or abdominal organs, as well as patients with congenital anatomical abnormalities. 6. Patients who have undergone biliary/pancreatic duct stent placement. 7. Patients who refuse to sign the informed consent.
