Reading Between the Voxels: Artificial Intelligence Detection of Occult Pancreatic Cancer.

Abstract

This article comments on a recent study of an artificial intelligence (AI) tool for detection of CT-occult pancreatic cancer. In a multiinstitutional dataset, the tool detected such cancers with a median 475-day lead time, outperforming subspecialty-trained radiologists. Future studies should evaluate the model prospectively to assess generalizability and reduce false-positives.
