Cholangioscopy is an advanced endoscopic procedure that allows direct visualization of the bile ducts and is commonly used to evaluate biliary tract diseases, including strictures, stones, and malignancies. It is particularly valuable in cases where traditional imaging modalities, such as ERCP, fail to provide definitive diagnoses.
Cholangioscopy is an advanced endoscopic procedure that allows direct visualization of the bile ducts and is commonly used to evaluate biliary tract diseases, including strictures, stones, and malignancies. It is particularly valuable in cases where traditional imaging modalities, such as ERCP, fail to provide definitive diagnoses. Cholangioscopy can facilitate targeted biopsies, therapeutic interventions (e.g., lithotripsy for bile duct stones), and aid in distinguishing benign from malignant biliary strictures.
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy of cholangioscopy. For example, studies have shown that AI systems analyzing cholangioscopy footage outperform traditional sampling methods like brush cytology and forceps biopsy in identifying malignancy. AI systems, with sensitivity and specificity rates as high as 80.0% and 90.3%, respectively, can enhance clinical decision-making and reduce diagnostic uncertainty.
Introduction: Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming healthcare through drug discovery, clinical decision support, remote monitoring, and administrative automation. While AI is widely expected to reduce healthcare costs, this perspective argues that current payment models and...
Introduction: Large frontier AI models such as GPT-5 and Gemini have achieved impressive results across numerous healthcare benchmarks. However, high benchmark scores alone may not reflect real-world clinical reliability. This study systematically evaluated the robustness...
Introduction: Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming medicine, but its influence extends far beyond healthcare. This JAMA AI Conversations article explores how AI ethics has become a global societal issue, engaging technology leaders, policymakers, healthcare professionals,...
Introduction: Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming oncology, evolving from image interpretation and pathology analysis to supporting complex clinical decision-making. This perspective argues that AI should enhance the capabilities of oncologists rather than replace their expertise....
Introduction Clinical trial endpoints have traditionally relied on expert human interpretation, particularly for pathology-based outcomes. However, variability between observers, cost, and time remain important limitations. This NEJM AI perspective discusses how artificial intelligence is beginning...
Introduction: As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into clinical practice, an important question arises: should AI assistants be regulated as medical devices or viewed as evidence-based clinical methodologies? This NEJM AI perspective proposes a new...
