Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz in der biliären Diagnostik
摘要
Cholangioscopy with biopsy is currently the best, guideline-compliant method for assessing indeterminate biliary strictures. However, the interpretation of cholangioscopic examinations is not very standardized and the diagnostic accuracy of cholangioscopy-assisted biopsies remains limited for various reasons. In the future, support systems using deep learning algorithms may allow optimization of cholangioscopy and patient management. Algorithms based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) in particular have been increasingly adopted in medical imaging. For biliary diagnostics using cholangioscopy, several studies investigating the use of CNN-based algorithms for the detection of malignant bile duct stenoses have been published. In this paper, we describe the general principles of CNN-based algorithms and their use in percutaneous/peroral diagnostics. We address the recommendations and limitations of cholangioscopy for the diagnosis of indeterminate biliary strictures and discuss recent CNN-based algorithms that have been scientifically developed for this indication.
