Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
AI has a transformative impact on medicine in several key areas: diagnostics, personalized medicine, predictive analytics, drug discovery, virtual health assistants, robotic surgery, and clinical decision support.
In gastroenterology, AI is making significant strides through various applications:
- Endoscopic Image Analysis: AI algorithms analyze images and videos from endoscopies to identify abnormalities such as polyps or tumors, improving the diagnostic accuracy and reducing missed detections.
- Colorectal Cancer Screening: AI systems enhance the detection of colorectal cancer during colonoscopies by automatically identifying suspicious lesions, which can lead to earlier interventions.
In particular, the progress of endoscopy in the pancreaticobiliary field has been remarkable. The diagnosis of various pancreaticobiliary diseases (early-stage pancreaticobiliary cancer, early-stage chronic pancreatitis, etc.), which were previously difficult to diagnose, has become more accurate with the progress of ERCP and EUS. Moreover, the recent development of cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy has provided further possibilities with high diagnostic ability. On the other hand, endoscopic treatment has also made significant progress. Therapeutic indications have expanded steadily, and completely new therapies are being developed and implemented. In particular, the advancement of interventional EUS has revolutionized endoscopic treatment for pancreaticobiliary disease. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on clinical advances in biliary and pancreatic endoscopy in terms of both diagnosis and treatment.
