Neil B. Marya et al. Multicenter validation of a cholangioscopy artificial intelligence system for the evaluation of biliary tract disease

A cholangioscopy AI system analyzed 61 examinations and „showed sensitivity 80% and specificity 90% for discriminating benign versus malignant biliary strictures (31 benign, 30 malignant, according to the reference standard). It was significantly more „accurate (85%) than brush cytology (53%; P < 0.001), forceps biopsy (68%; P = 0.04), and both methods combined (67%; P = 0.02). Nevertheless, a real-world clinical trial is needed before „clinical implementation.
