About this trial

This multicenter clinical trial evaluates an artificial intelligence (AI) system designed to assist in the diagnosis and management of pancreatic diseases. Using contrast-enhanced CT scans, the study compares the AI's recommendations against the decisions of experienced clinicians to verify the system's accuracy and safety in a real-world setting. Patients are categorized into three management groups: Intervention (surgery/treatment), Intensive Surveillance (close monitoring), or Routine Surveillance (standard follow-up). The primary goal is to determine if the AI system can reliably classify patients, reduce the risk of missing malignant lesions, and prevent unnecessary surgeries, thereby improving clinical decision-making for pancreatic conditions.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Clinically suspected pancreatic disease.

Scheduled to undergo contrast-enhanced CT.

Signed informed consent form indicating agreement to participate.

Disqualifiers

History of pancreatic surgery.

Contraindications to contrast-enhanced CT, including known hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast media or severe renal/hepatic dysfunction.

Suboptimal image quality affecting diagnosis.

Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial.

Trial population

The study enrolls patients with clinically suspected pancreatic disease who have available contrast-enhanced CT scans and provide informed consent. Patients are excluded if they have a history of pancreatic surgery, contraindications to contrast media, suboptimal image quality, or other conditions deemed unsuitable by the investigator (e.g., pregnancy, cognitive impairment, or concurrent trial participation).

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Diagnosis by Artificial Intelligence model

    Diagnostic test

    To develop an artificial intelligence-based classification management system for pancreatic diseases, achieving automated and precise classification. Contrast-enhanced CT images from all study subjects will be analyzed by the AI system to generate classification results, categorizing patients into three groups: INTERVENTIOM, INTENSIVE SURVEILLANCE or ROUTINE SURVEILLANCE.
