Abstract
OBJECTIVES Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new imaging technology that uses an optical analog of ultrasound imaging for biological tissues. Image segmentation plays an important role in dealing with quantitative analysis of medical images. METHODS We have proposed a novel framework to deal with the low intensity problem, based on the labeled patches and Bayesian classification (LPBC) model. The proposed method includes training and testing phases. During the training phase, firstly, we manually select the sub-images of background and Region of Interest (ROI) from the training image, and then extract features by patches. Finally, we train the Bayesian model with the features. The segmentation threshold of each patch is computed by the learned Bayesian model. RESULTS In addition, we have collected a new dataset of mouse eyes in vivo with OCT, named MEVOCT, which can be found at URL https://17861318579.github.io/LPBC. MEVOCT consists of 20 high-resolution images. The resolution of every image is 2048 × 2048 pixels. CONCLUSIONS The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the LPBC method on the new MEVOCT dataset. The ROI segmentation is of great importance for the distortion correction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Lung cancer continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with immunotherapy emerging as a promising therapeutic strategy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite its potential, not all patients experience benefits from immunotherapy, and the current biomarkers used for treatment selection possess inherent limitations. As a result, the implementation of imaging-based biomarkers to predict the efficacy of lung cancer treatments offers a promising avenue for improving therapeutic outcomes. METHODS This study presents an automatic system for immunotherapy efficacy prediction on the subjects with lung cancer, facilitating significant clinical implications. Our model employs an advanced 2.5D neural network that incorporates 2D intra-slice feature extraction and 3D inter-slice feature aggregation. We further present a lesion-focused prior to guide the re-calibration for intra-slice features, and a attention-based re-calibration for the inter-slice features. Finally, we design an accumulated back-propagation strategy to optimize network parameters in a memory-efficient fashion. RESULTS We demonstrate that the proposed method achieves impressive performance on an in-house clinical dataset, surpassing existing state-of-the-art models. Furthermore, the proposed model exhibits increased efficiency in inference for each subject on average. To further validate the effectiveness of our model and its components, we conducted comprehensive and in-depth ablation experiments and discussions. CONCLUSION The proposed model showcases the potential to enhance physicians' diagnostic performance due to its impressive performance in predicting immunotherapy efficacy, thereby offering significant clinical application value. Moreover, we conduct adequate comparison experiments of the proposed methods and existing advanced models. These findings contribute to our understanding of the proposed model's effectiveness and serve as motivation for future work in immunotherapy efficacy prediction.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel transfer learning regularization method based on knowledge distillation. Recently, transfer learning methods have been used in various fields. However, problems such as knowledge loss still occur during the process of transfer learning to a new target dataset. To solve these problems, there are various regularization methods based on knowledge distillation techniques. In this paper, we propose a transfer learning regularization method based on feature map alignment used in the field of knowledge distillation. The proposed method is composed of two attention-based submodules: self-pixel attention (SPA) and global channel attention (GCA). The self-pixel attention submodule utilizes both the feature maps of the source and target models, so that it provides an opportunity to jointly consider the features of the target and the knowledge of the source. The global channel attention submodule determines the importance of channels through all layers, unlike the existing methods that calculate these only within a single layer. Accordingly, transfer learning regularization is performed by considering both the interior of each single layer and the depth of the entire layer. Consequently, the proposed method using both of these submodules showed overall improved classification accuracy than the existing methods in classification experiments on commonly used datasets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate segmentation of lung tumors on chest computed tomography (CT) scans is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment planning. Deep Learning (DL) has emerged as a promising tool in medical imaging, particularly for lung cancer segmentation. However, its efficacy across different clinical settings and tumor stages remains variable. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science until November 7, 2023. We assessed the quality of these studies by using the Checklist for Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging and the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tools. This analysis included data from various clinical settings and stages of lung cancer. Key performance metrics, such as the Dice similarity coefficient, were pooled, and factors affecting algorithm performance, such as clinical setting, algorithm type, and image processing techniques, were examined. RESULTS Our analysis of 37 studies revealed a pooled Dice score of 79 % (95 % CI: 76 %-83 %), indicating moderate accuracy. Radiotherapy studies had a slightly lower score of 78 % (95 % CI: 74 %-82 %). A temporal increase was noted, with recent studies (post-2022) showing improvement from 75 % (95 % CI: 70 %-81 %). to 82 % (95 % CI: 81 %-84 %). Key factors affecting performance included algorithm type, resolution adjustment, and image cropping. QUADAS-2 assessments identified ambiguous risks in 78 % of studies due to data interval omissions and concerns about generalizability in 8 % due to nodule size exclusions, and CLAIM criteria highlighted areas for improvement, with an average score of 27.24 out of 42. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis demonstrates DL algorithms' promising but varied efficacy in lung cancer segmentation, particularly higher efficacy noted in early stages. The results highlight the critical need for continued development of tailored DL models to improve segmentation accuracy across diverse clinical settings, especially in advanced cancer stages with greater challenges. As recent studies demonstrate, ongoing advancements in algorithmic approaches are crucial for future applications.

Abstract
Women tend to face many problems throughout their lives; cervical cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases that they can face, and it has many negative consequences. Regular screening and treatment of precancerous lesions play a vital role in the fight against cervical cancer. It is becoming increasingly common in medical practice to predict the early stages of serious illnesses, such as heart attacks, kidney failure, and cancer, using machine learning-based techniques. To overcome these obstacles, we propose the use of auxiliary modules and a special residual block, to record contextual interactions between object classes and to support the object reference strategy. Unlike the latest state-of-the-art classification method, we create a new architecture called the Reinforcement Learning Cancer Network, "RL-CancerNet", which diagnoses cervical cancer with incredible accuracy. We trained and tested our method on two well-known publicly available datasets, SipaKMeD and Herlev, to assess it and enable comparisons with earlier methods. Cervical cancer images were labeled in this dataset; therefore, they had to be marked manually. Our study shows that, compared to previous approaches for the assignment of classifying cervical cancer as an early cellular change, the proposed approach generates a more reliable and stable image derived from images of datasets of vastly different sizes, indicating that it will be effective for other datasets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cavernous sinus invasion (CSI) plays a pivotal role in determining management in pituitary adenomas. The study aimed to develop a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to diagnose CSI in multiple centers. METHODS A total of 729 cases were retrospectively obtained in five medical centers with (n = 543) or without CSI (n = 186) from January 2011 to December 2021. The CNN model was trained using T1-enhanced MRI from two pituitary centers of excellence (n = 647). The other three municipal centers (n = 82) as the external testing set were imported to evaluate the model performance. The area-under-the-receiver-operating-characteristic-curve values (AUC-ROC) analyses were employed to evaluate predicted performance. Gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) was used to determine models' regions of interest. RESULTS The CNN model achieved high diagnostic accuracy (0.89) in identifying CSI in the external testing set, with an AUC-ROC value of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.88-0.97), better than CSI clinical predictor of diameter (AUC-ROC: 0.75), length (AUC-ROC: 0.80), and the three kinds of dichotomizations of the Knosp grading system (AUC-ROC: 0.70-0.82). In cases with Knosp grade 3A (n = 24, CSI rate, 0.35), the accuracy the model accounted for 0.78, with sensitivity and specificity values of 0.72 and 0.78, respectively. According to the Grad-CAM results, the views of the model were confirmed around the sellar region with CSI. CONCLUSIONS The deep learning model is capable of accurately identifying CSI and satisfactorily able to localize CSI in multicenters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious problems that has taken many lives worldwide. The diagnostic procedure using the traditional approaches was manual by visually analyzing the large volumes of the dataset, making it time-consuming and prone to subjective errors. Hence the need for the computer-aided diagnosis system (CADs) emerged that comprises the machine and deep learning approaches for denoising, segmentation and classification of pancreatic cancer. INTRODUCTION There are different modalities used for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, such as Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Multiparametric-MRI (Mp-MRI), Radiomics and Radio-genomics. Although these modalities gave remarkable results in diagnosis on the basis of different criteria. CT is the most commonly used modality that produces detailed and fine contrast images of internal organs of the body. However, it may also contain a certain amount of gaussian and rician noise that is necessary to be preprocessed before segmentation of the required region of interest (ROI) from the images and classification of cancer. METHOD This paper analyzes different methodologies used for the complete diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, including the denoising, segmentation and classification, along with the challenges and future scope for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. RESULT Various filters are used for denoising and image smoothening and filters as gaussian scale mixture process, non-local means, median filter, adaptive filter and average filter have been used more for better results. CONCLUSION In terms of segmentation, atlas based region-growing method proved to give better results as compared to the state of the art whereas, for the classification, deep learning approaches outperformed other methodologies to classify the images as cancerous and non- cancerous. These methodologies have proved that CAD systems have become a better solution to the ongoing research proposals for the detection of pancreatic cancer worldwide.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used in various fields of day-to-day life and its role in medicine is immense. Understanding of oncology has been improved with the introduction of AI which helps in diagnosis, treatment planning, management, prognosis, and follow-up. It also helps to identify high-risk groups who can be subjected to timely screening for early detection of malignant conditions. It is more important in pancreatic cancer as it is one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide and there are no specific early features (clinical and radiological) for diagnosis. With improvement in imaging modalities (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, endoscopic ultrasound), most often clinicians were being challenged with lesions that were difficult to diagnose with human competence. AI has been used in various other branches of medicine to differentiate such indeterminate lesions including the thyroid gland, breast, lungs, liver, adrenal gland, kidney, etc. In the case of pancreatic cancer, the role of AI has been explored and is still ongoing. This review article will focus on how AI can be used to diagnose pancreatic cancer early or differentiate it from benign pancreatic lesions, therefore, management can be planned at an earlier stage.

Abstract
Machine learning and deep learning are two subsets of artificial intelligence that involve teaching computers to learn and make decisions from any sort of data. Most recent developments in artificial intelligence are coming from deep learning, which has proven revolutionary in almost all fields, from computer vision to health sciences. The effects of deep learning in medicine have changed the conventional ways of clinical application significantly. Although some sub-fields of medicine, such as pediatrics, have been relatively slow in receiving the critical benefits of deep learning, related research in pediatrics has started to accumulate to a significant level, too. Hence, in this paper, we review recently developed machine learning and deep learning-based solutions for neonatology applications. We systematically evaluate the roles of both classical machine learning and deep learning in neonatology applications, define the methodologies, including algorithmic developments, and describe the remaining challenges in the assessment of neonatal diseases by using PRISMA 2020 guidelines. To date, the primary areas of focus in neonatology regarding AI applications have included survival analysis, neuroimaging, analysis of vital parameters and biosignals, and retinopathy of prematurity diagnosis. We have categorically summarized 106 research articles from 1996 to 2022 and discussed their pros and cons, respectively. In this systematic review, we aimed to further enhance the comprehensiveness of the study. We also discuss possible directions for new AI models and the future of neonatology with the rising power of AI, suggesting roadmaps for the integration of AI into neonatal intensive care units.

Abstract
The significant research carried out on medical healthcare networks is giving computing innovations lots of space to produce the most recent innovations. Pancreatic cancer, which ranks among of the most common tumors that are thought to be fatal and unsuspected since it is positioned in the region of the abdomen beyond the stomach and can't be adequately treated once diagnosed. In radiological imaging, such as MRI and CT, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), quantitative evaluations, and automated pancreatic cancer classification approaches are routinely provided. This study provides a dynamic weighted ensemble framework for pancreatic cancer classification inspired by game theory. Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is utilized for feature extraction, together with Gaussian kernel-based fuzzy rough sets theory (GKFRST) for feature reduction and the Random Forest (RF) classifier for categorization. The ResNet50 and VGG16 are used in the transfer learning (TL) paradigm. The combination of the outcomes from the TL paradigm and the RF classifier paradigm is suggested using an innovative ensemble classifier that relies on the game theory method. When compared with the current models, the ensemble technique considerably increases the pancreatic cancer classification accuracy and yields exceptional performance. The study improves the categorization of pancreatic cancer by using game theory, a mathematical paradigm that simulates strategic interactions. Because game theory has been not frequently used in the discipline of cancer categorization, this research is distinctive in its methodology.

Abstract
Recently, human beings have been affected mainly by dreadful cancer diseases. Predicting cancer risk levels is a major challenge in biomedical research for feature selection and classification at the margins. To resolve this problem, we propose a Subset Clustering-Based Feature Selection using a Multi-Layer Perception Neural Network (SCFS-MLPNN). Initially, pre-processing is carried out with Intensive Mutual Disease Influence Rate (IMDIR) to identify the relational features. In addition, the Successive Disease Pattern Stimulus Rate (SDPSR) is carried out to create relative feature patterns. Based on the patterns, the features are selected and grouped into clustering. Inter-Class Sub-Space Clustering (ICSSC) is applied to split the features by class labels depending on the marginal rate. From the class labels, marginal features are obtained using spectral subset feature selection (SSFS). The selected features are then trained in a Multi-Layer Perception Neural Network (MLPNN) classifier to classify the patient features by risk. Its contribution is to exploit subset features to improve classification accuracy by clustering relational features. The proposed classifier yields higher classification accuracy than previous methods and observes cancer detection for early detection. Therefore, the proposed method achieved a risk analysis accuracy of 91.8% and an F-measure of 91.3% for early detection, which is recommended for early diagnosis.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and highly lethal tumors worldwide. Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a significant risk factor for recurrence and poor prognosis after surgical resection for HCC patients. Accurately predicting the status of MVI preoperatively is critical for clinicians to select treatment modalities and improve overall survival. However, MVI can only be diagnosed by pathological analysis of postoperative specimens. Currently, numerous indicators in serology (including liquid biopsies) and imaging have been identified to effective in predicting the occurrence of MVI, and the multi-indicator model based on deep learning greatly improves accuracy of prediction. Moreover, several genes and proteins have been identified as risk factors that are strictly associated with the occurrence of MVI. Therefore, this review evaluates various predictors and risk factors, and provides guidance for subsequent efforts to explore more accurate predictive methods and to facilitate the conversion of risk factors into reliable predictors.

Abstract
Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN) cysts are pre-malignant pancreas lesions, and they can progress into pancreatic cancer. Therefore, detecting and stratifying their risk level is of ultimate importance for effective treatment planning and disease control. However, this is a highly challenging task because of the diverse and irregular shape, texture, and size of the IPMN cysts as well as the pancreas. In this study, we propose a novel computer-aided diagnosis pipeline for IPMN risk classification from multi-contrast MRI scans. Our proposed analysis framework includes an efficient volumetric self-adapting segmentation strategy for pancreas delineation, followed by a newly designed deep learning-based classification scheme with a radiomics-based predictive approach. We test our proposed decision-fusion model in multi-center data sets of 246 multi-contrast MRI scans and obtain superior performance to the state of the art (SOTA) in this field. Our ablation studies demonstrate the significance of both radiomics and deep learning modules for achieving the new SOTA performance compared to international guidelines and published studies (81.9% vs 61.3% in accuracy). Our findings have important implications for clinical decision-making. In a series of rigorous experiments on multi-center data sets (246 MRI scans from five centers), we achieved unprecedented performance (81.9% accuracy). The code is available upon publication.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Early and accurate diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is crucial for improving patient outcomes, and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have the potential to play a vital role in computer-aided diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. In this review, we aim to provide the latest and relevant advances in AI, specifically deep learning (DL) and radiomics approaches, for pancreatic cancer diagnosis using cross-sectional imaging examinations such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RECENT FINDINGS This review highlights the recent developments in DL techniques applied to medical imaging, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformer-based models, and novel deep learning architectures that focus on multitype pancreatic lesions, multiorgan and multitumor segmentation, as well as incorporating auxiliary information. We also discuss advancements in radiomics, such as improved imaging feature extraction, optimized machine learning classifiers and integration with clinical data. Furthermore, we explore implementing AI-based clinical decision support systems for pancreatic cancer diagnosis using medical imaging in practical settings. SUMMARY Deep learning and radiomics with medical imaging have demonstrated strong potential to improve diagnostic accuracy of pancreatic cancer, facilitate personalized treatment planning, and identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers. However, challenges remain in translating research findings into clinical practice. More studies are required focusing on refining these methods, addressing significant limitations, and developing integrative approaches for data analysis to further advance the field of pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To reduce the total scan time of multiple postlabeling delay (multi-PLD) pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) by developing a hierarchically structured 3D convolutional neural network (H-CNN) that estimates the arterial transit time (ATT) and cerebral blow flow (CBF) maps from the reduced number of PLDs as well as averages. METHODS A total of 48 subjects (38 females and 10 males), aged 56-80 years, compromising a training group (n = 45) and a validation group (n = 3) underwent MRI including multi-PLD pCASL. We proposed an H-CNN to estimate the ATT and CBF maps using a reduced number of PLDs and a separately reduced number of averages. The proposed method was compared with a conventional nonlinear model fitting method using the mean absolute error (MAE). RESULTS The H-CNN provided the MAEs of 32.69 ms for ATT and 3.32 mL/100 g/min for CBF estimations using a full data set that contains six PLDs and six averages in the 3 test subjects. The H-CNN also showed that the smaller number of PLDs can be used to estimate both ATT and CBF without significant discrepancy from the reference (MAEs of 231.45 ms for ATT and 9.80 mL/100 g/min for CBF using three of six PLDs). CONCLUSION The proposed machine learning-based ATT and CBF mapping offers substantially reduced scan time of multi-PLD pCASL.

Abstract
One of the key aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of atypical femoral fractures is the early detection of incomplete fractures and the prevention of their progression to complete fractures. However, an incomplete atypical femoral fracture can be misdiagnosed as a normal lesion by both primary care physicians and orthopedic surgeons; expert consultation is needed for accurate diagnosis. To overcome this limitation, we developed a transfer learning-based ensemble model to detect and localize fractures. A total of 1050 radiographs, including 100 incomplete fractures, were preprocessed by applying a Sobel filter. Six models (EfficientNet B5, B6, B7, DenseNet 121, MobileNet V1, and V2) were selected for transfer learning. We then composed two ensemble models; the first was based on the three models having the highest accuracy, and the second was based on the five models having the highest accuracy. The area under the curve (AUC) of the case that used the three most accurate models was the highest at 0.998. This study demonstrates that an ensemble of transfer-learning-based models can accurately classify and detect fractures, even in an imbalanced dataset. This artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnostic application could support decision-making and reduce the workload of clinicians with its high speed and accuracy.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) has a low incidence rate but a high mortality, with patients often in the advanced stage of the disease at the time of the first diagnosis. If detected, early neoplastic lesions are ideal for surgery, offering the best prognosis. Preneoplastic lesions of the pancreas include pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia and mucinous cystic neoplasms, with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms being the most commonly diagnosed. Our study focused on predicting PC by identifying early signs using noninvasive techniques and artificial intelligence (AI). A systematic English literature search was conducted on the PubMed electronic database and other sources. We obtained a total of 97 studies on the subject of pancreatic neoplasms. The final number of articles included in our study was 44, 34 of which focused on the use of AI algorithms in the early diagnosis and prediction of pancreatic lesions. AI algorithms can facilitate diagnosis by analyzing massive amounts of data in a short period of time. Correlations can be made through AI algorithms by expanding image and electronic medical records databases, which can later be used as part of a screening program for the general population. AI-based screening models should involve a combination of biomarkers and medical and imaging data from different sources. This requires large numbers of resources, collaboration between medical practitioners, and investment in medical infrastructures.

Front Oncol 2023; 13:987781. [PMID: 36816963 PMCID: PMC9936232 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.987781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate and compare the predictive performance of different deep learning models using gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced MRI in predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods The data of 233 patients with pathologically confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated at our hospital from June 2016 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Three deep learning models were constructed based on three different delineate methods of the region of interest (ROI) using the Darwin Scientific Research Platform (Beijing Yizhun Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., China). Manual segmentation of ROI was performed on the T1-weighted axial Hepatobiliary phase images. According to the ratio of 7:3, the samples were divided into a training set (N=163) and a validation set (N=70). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive performance of three models, and their sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were assessed. Results Among 233 HCC patients, 109 were pathologically MVI positive, including 91 men and 18 women, with an average age of 58.20 ± 10.17 years; 124 patients were MVI negative, including 93 men and 31 women, with an average age of 58.26 ± 10.20 years. Among three deep learning models, 2D-expansion-DL model and 3D-DL model showed relatively good performance, the AUC value were 0.70 (P=0.003) (95% CI 0.57-0.82) and 0.72 (P<0.001) (95% CI 0.60-0.84), respectively. In the 2D-expansion-DL model, the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were 0.7143, 0.739 and 0.688. In the 3D-DL model, the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were 0.6714, 0.800 and 0.575, respectively. Compared with the 3D-DL model (based on 3D-ResNet), the 2D-DL model is smaller in scale and runs faster. The frames per second (FPS) for the 2D-DL model is 244.7566, which is much larger than that of the 3D-DL model (73.3374). Conclusion The deep learning model based on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI could preoperatively evaluate MVI in HCC. Considering that the predictive performance of 2D-expansion-DL model was almost the same as the 3D-DL model and the former was relatively easy to implement, we prefer the 2D-expansion-DL model in practical research.

Abstract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is the second most common primary liver tumor, with a median survival of only 13 months. Surgical resection remains the only curative therapy; however, at first detection, only one-third of patients are at an early enough stage for this approach to be effective, thus rendering early diagnosis as an efficient approach to improving survival. Therefore, the identification of higher-risk patients, whose risk is correlated with genetic and pre-cancerous conditions, and the employment of non-invasive-screening modalities would be appropriate. For several at-risk patients, such as those suffering from primary sclerosing cholangitis or fibropolycystic liver disease, the use of periodic (6-12 months) imaging of the liver by ultrasound (US), magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)/cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), or computed tomography (CT) in association with serum CA19-9 measurement has been proposed. For liver cirrhosis patients, it has been proposed that at-risk iCCA patients are monitored in a similar fashion to at-risk HCC patients. The possibility of using Artificial Intelligence models to evaluate higher-risk patients could favor the diagnosis of these entities, although more data are needed to support the practical utility of these applications in the field of screening. For these reasons, it would be appropriate to develop screening programs in the research protocols setting. In fact, the success of these programs reauires patient compliance and multidisciplinary cooperation.

Risk Assessment and Pancreatic Cancer: Diagnostic Management and Artificial Intelligence. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15020351.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the deadliest cancers, and it is responsible for a number of deaths almost equal to its incidence. The high mortality rate is correlated with several explanations; the main one is the late disease stage at which the majority of patients are diagnosed. Since surgical resection has been recognised as the only curative treatment, a PC diagnosis at the initial stage is believed the main tool to improve survival. Therefore, patient stratification according to familial and genetic risk and the creation of screening protocol by using minimally invasive diagnostic tools would be appropriate. Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) are subsets of lesions which deserve special management to avoid overtreatment. The current PC screening programs are based on the annual employment of magnetic resonance imaging with cholangiopancreatography sequences (MR/MRCP) and/or endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). For patients unfit for MRI, computed tomography (CT) could be proposed, although CT results in lower detection rates, compared to MRI, for small lesions. The actual major limit is the incapacity to detect and characterize the pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) by EUS and MR/MRCP. The possibility of utilizing artificial intelligence models to evaluate higher-risk patients could favour the diagnosis of these entities, although more data are needed to support the real utility of these applications in the field of screening. For these motives, it would be appropriate to realize screening programs in research settings.

Abstract
Cancer is a major medical problem worldwide. Due to its high heterogeneity, the use of the same drugs or surgical methods in patients with the same tumor may have different curative effects, leading to the need for more accurate treatment methods for tumors and personalized treatments for patients. The precise treatment of tumors is essential, which renders obtaining an in-depth understanding of the changes that tumors undergo urgent, including changes in their genes, proteins and cancer cell phenotypes, in order to develop targeted treatment strategies for patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) based on big data can extract the hidden patterns, important information, and corresponding knowledge behind the enormous amount of data. For example, the ML and deep learning of subsets of AI can be used to mine the deep-level information in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, radiomics, digital pathological images, and other data, which can make clinicians synthetically and comprehensively understand tumors. In addition, AI can find new biomarkers from data to assist tumor screening, detection, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis prediction, so as to providing the best treatment for individual patients and improving their clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Brain tumors are serious conditions caused by uncontrolled and abnormal cell division. Tumors can have devastating implications if not accurately and promptly detected. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the methods frequently used to detect brain tumors owing to its excellent resolution. In the past few decades, substantial research has been conducted in the field of classifying brain images, ranging from traditional methods to deep-learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNN). To accomplish classification, machine-learning methods require manually created features. In contrast, CNN achieves classification by extracting visual features from unprocessed images. The size of the training dataset had a significant impact on the features that CNN extracts. The CNN tends to overfit when its size is small. Deep CNNs (DCNN) with transfer learning have therefore been developed. The aim of this work was to investigate the brain MR image categorization potential of pre-trained DCNN VGG-19, VGG-16, ResNet50, and Inception V3 models using data augmentation and transfer learning techniques. Validation of the test set utilizing accuracy, recall, Precision, and F1 score showed that the pre-trained VGG-19 model with transfer learning exhibited the best performance. In addition, these methods offer an end-to-end classification of raw images without the need for manual attribute extraction.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can produce temporary biochemical imbalance due to leaks through cell membranes or disruption of the axoplasmic flow due to the misalignment of intracellular neurofilaments. If untreated, TBI can lead to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or total disability. Mild TBI (mTBI) accounts for about about 90 percent of all TBI cases. The detection of TBI as soon as it happens is crucial for successful treatment management. Neuroimaging-based tests provide only a structural and functional mapping of the brain with poor temporal resolution. Such tests may not detect mTBI. On the other hand, the electroencephalogram (EEG) provides good spatial resolution and excellent temporal resolution of the brain activities beside its portability and low cost. The objective of this paper is to provide clinicians and scientists with a one-stop source of information to quickly learn about the different technologies used for TBI detection, their advantages and limitations. Our research led us to conclude that even though EEG-based TBI detection is potentially a powerful technology, it is currently not able to detect the presence of a mTBI with high confidence. The focus of the paper is to review existing approaches and provide the reason for the unsuccessful state of EEG-based detection of mTBI.

Abstract
Pancreatic tumor is the deadliest disease which needs earlier identification to reduce the mortality rate. With this motivation, this study introduces a Multi-Objective Metaheuristics with Intelligent Deep Learning Model for Pancreatic Tumor Diagnosis (MOM-IDL) model. The proposed MOM-IDL technique encompasses an adaptive Weiner filter based pre-processing technique to enhance the image quality and get rid of the noise. In addition, multi-level thresholding based segmentation using Kapur’s entropy is employed where the threshold values are optimally chosen by the barnacles mating optimizer (BMO). Besides, densely connected network (DenseNet-169) is employed as a feature extractor and fuzzy support vector machine (FSVM) is utilized as a classifier. For improving the classification performance, the BMO technique was implemented for fine-tuning the parameters of the FSVM model. The design of MOBMO algorithm for threshold selection and parameter optimization processes shows the novelty of the work. A wide range of simulations take place on the benchmark dataset and the experimental results highlighted the enhanced performance of the MOM-IDL technique over the recent state of art techniques.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a worldwide catastrophe and widespread devastation that reeled almost all countries. The pandemic has mounted pressure on the existing healthcare system and caused panic and desperation. The gold testing standard for COVID-19 detection, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), has shown its limitations with 70% accuracy, contributing to the incorrect diagnosis that exaggerated the complexities and increased the fatalities. The new variations further pose unseen challenges in terms of their diagnosis and subsequent treatment. The COVID-19 virus heavily impacts the lungs and fills the air sacs with fluid causing pneumonia. Thus, chest X-ray inspection is a viable option if the inspection detects COVID-19-induced pneumonia, hence confirming the exposure of COVID-19. Artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques are capable of examining chest X-rays in order to detect patterns that can confirm the presence of COVID-19-induced pneumonia. This research used CNN and deep learning techniques to detect COVID-19-induced pneumonia from chest X-rays. Transfer learning with fine-tuning ensures that the proposed work successfully classifies COVID-19-induced pneumonia, regular pneumonia, and normal conditions. Xception, Visual Geometry Group 16, and Visual Geometry Group 19 are used to realize transfer learning. The experimental results were promising in terms of precision, recall, F1 score, specificity, false omission rate, false negative rate, false positive rate, and false discovery rate with a COVID-19-induced pneumonia detection accuracy of 98%. Experimental results also revealed that the proposed work has not only correctly identified COVID-19 exposure but also made a distinction between COVID-19-induced pneumonia and regular pneumonia, as the latter is a very common disease, while COVID-19 is more lethal. These results mitigated the concern and overlap in the diagnosis of COVID-19-induced pneumonia and regular pneumonia. With further integrations, it can be employed as a potential standard model in differentiating the various lung-related infections, including COVID-19.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Early low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening can decrease its mortality rate and computer-aided diagnoses systems may make these screenings more accessible. Radiomic features and supervised machine learning have traditionally been employed in these systems. Contrary to supervised methods, unsupervised learning techniques do not require large amounts of annotated data which are labor-intensive to gather and long training times. Therefore, recent approaches have used unsupervised methods, such as clustering, to improve the performance of supervised models. However, an analysis of purely unsupervised methods for malignancy prediction of lung nodules from CT images has not been performed. This work studies nodule malignancy in the LIDC-IDRI image collection of chest CT scans using established radiomic features and unsupervised learning methods based on k-Means, Spectral Clustering, and Gaussian Mixture clustering. All tested methods resulted in clusters of high homogeneity malignancy. Results suggest convex feature distributions and well-separated feature subspaces associated with different diagnoses. Furthermore, diagnosis uncertainty may be explained by common characteristics captured by radiomic features. The k-Means and Gaussian Mixture models are able to generalize to unseen data, achieving a balanced accuracy of 87.23% and 86.96% when inference was tested. These results motivate the usage of unsupervised approaches for malignancy prediction of lung nodules, such as cluster-then-label models. Clinical Relevance- Unsupervised clustering of radiomic features of lung nodules in chest CT scans can differentiate between malignant and benign cases and reflects experts' diagnosis uncertainty.

Abstract
Background The presence of microvascular invasion (MVI) is considered an independent prognostic factor associated with early recurrence and poor survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after resection. Artificial intelligence (AI), mainly consisting of non-deep learning algorithms (NDLAs) and deep learning algorithms (DLAs), has been widely used for MVI prediction in medical imaging. Aim To assess the diagnostic accuracy of AI algorithms for non-invasive, preoperative prediction of MVI based on imaging data. Methods Original studies reporting AI algorithms for non-invasive, preoperative prediction of MVI based on quantitative imaging data were identified in the databases PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) scale. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), and negative likelihood ratio (NLR) were calculated using a random-effects model with 95% CIs. A summary receiver operating characteristic curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were generated to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the deep learning and non-deep learning models. In the non-deep learning group, we further performed meta-regression and subgroup analyses to identify the source of heterogeneity. Results Data from 16 included studies with 4,759 cases were available for meta-analysis. Four studies on deep learning models, 12 studies on non-deep learning models, and two studies compared the efficiency of the two types. For predictive performance of deep learning models, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, and AUC values were 0.84 [0.75–0.90], 0.84 [0.77–0.89], 5.14 [3.53–7.48], 0.2 [0.12–0.31], and 0.90 [0.87–0.93]; and for non-deep learning models, they were 0.77 [0.71–0.82], 0.77 [0.73–0.80], 3.30 [2.83–3.84], 0.30 [0.24–0.38], and 0.82 [0.79–0.85], respectively. Subgroup analyses showed a significant difference between the single tumor subgroup and the multiple tumor subgroup in the pooled sensitivity, NLR, and AUC. Conclusion This meta-analysis demonstrates the high diagnostic accuracy of non-deep learning and deep learning methods for MVI status prediction and their promising potential for clinical decision-making. Deep learning models perform better than non-deep learning models in terms of the accuracy of MVI prediction, methodology, and cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
The deadly coronavirus virus (COVID-19) was confirmed as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in December 2019. It is important to identify suspected patients as early as possible in order to control the spread of the virus, improve the efficacy of medical treatment, and, as a result, lower the mortality rate. The adopted method of detecting COVID-19 is the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the process is affected by a scarcity of RT-PCR kits as well as its complexities. Medical imaging using machine learning and deep learning has proved to be one of the most efficient methods of detecting respiratory diseases, but to train machine learning features needs to be extracted manually, and in deep learning, efficiency is affected by deep learning architecture and low data. In this study, handcrafted local binary pattern (LBP) and automatic seven deep learning models extracted features were used to train support vector machines (SVM) and K-nearest neighbour (KNN) classifiers, to improve the performance of the classifier, a concatenated LBP and deep learning feature was proposed to train the KNN and SVM, based on the performance criteria, the models VGG-19 + LBP achieved the highest accuracy of 99.4%. The SVM and KNN classifiers trained on the hybrid feature outperform the state of the art model. This shows that the proposed feature can improve the performance of the classifiers in detecting COVID-19.

Automated detection of COVID-19 cases from chest X-ray images using deep neural network and XGBoost. Radiography (Lond) 2022; 28:732-738. [PMID: 35410707 PMCID: PMC8958100 DOI: 10.1016/j.radi.2022.03.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2021] [Revised: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Introduction In late 2019 and after the COVID-19 pandemic in the world, many researchers and scholars tried to provide methods for detecting COVID-19 cases. Accordingly, this study focused on identifying patients with COVID-19 from chest X-ray images. Methods In this paper, a method for diagnosing coronavirus disease from X-ray images was developed. In this method, DenseNet169 Deep Neural Network (DNN) was used to extract the features of X-ray images taken from the patients’ chests. The extracted features were then given as input to the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm to perform the classification task. Results Evaluation of the proposed approach and its comparison with the methods presented in recent years revealed that this method was more accurate and faster than the existing ones and had an acceptable performance for detecting COVID-19 cases from X-ray images. The experiments showed 98.23% and 89.70% accuracy, 99.78% and 100% specificity, 92.08% and 95.20% sensitivity in two and three-class problems, respectively. Conclusion This study aimed to detect people with COVID-19, focusing on non-clinical approaches. The developed method could be employed as an initial detection tool to assist the radiologists in more accurate and faster diagnosing the disease. Implication for practice The proposed method's simple implementation, along with its acceptable accuracy, allows it to be used in COVID-19 diagnosis. Moreover, the gradient-based class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) can be used to represent the deep neural network's decision area on a heatmap. Radiologists might use this heatmap to evaluate the chest area more accurately.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most commonly occurring diseases that ranked in the top of the present survey. Advancements in the medical field enable non-invasive methods of computerised diagnosis procedures and detection processes. Deep learning methods are already in evaluation by keeping the deep analysis on improving segmentation accuracy and prediction accuracy etc. The classification of tumour type depends on the quality of segmentation work and feature mappings. In this paper, we developed a robust model that classifies the types of tumours with improved accuracy but is also capable of detecting the early stages of cancer by detecting the unique hidden points of the image intensity in the lung images, etc. The system is comprised of a novel relative convergence technique for feature extraction technique to extract the infected area and its characteristic pixels to evaluate a unique feature mapping vector. The MSB feature mapping vectors are analysed with Hybrid Regress Fuzzy Net. The final result on whether a tumour is present in the CT image or normal depends on the three individual decisions made by the three algorithms mentioned. The accuracy of each algorithm is also considered for the probable decision-making. The performance measure of the entire proposed Hybrid Regress Net is evaluated through Accuracy, Precision, Recall and F1Score etc.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has illuminated a clear path towards an evolving health-care system replete with enhanced precision and computing capabilities. Medical imaging analysis can be strengthened by machine learning as the multidimensional data generated by imaging naturally lends itself to hierarchical classification. In this Review, we describe the role of machine intelligence in image-based endocrine cancer diagnostics. We first provide a brief overview of AI and consider its intuitive incorporation into the clinical workflow. We then discuss how AI can be applied for the characterization of adrenal, pancreatic, pituitary and thyroid masses in order to support clinicians in their diagnostic interpretations. This Review also puts forth a number of key evaluation criteria for machine learning in medicine that physicians can use in their appraisals of these algorithms. We identify mitigation strategies to address ongoing challenges around data availability and model interpretability in the context of endocrine cancer diagnosis. Finally, we delve into frontiers in systems integration for AI, discussing automated pipelines and evolving computing platforms that leverage distributed, decentralized and quantum techniques.

Abstract
Pancreatic tumor is a lethal kind of tumor and its prediction is really poor in the current scenario. Automated pancreatic tumor classification using computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) model is necessary to track, predict, and classify the existence of pancreatic tumors. Artificial intelligence (AI) can offer extensive diagnostic expertise and accurate interventional image interpretation. With this motivation, this study designs an optimal deep learning based pancreatic tumor and nontumor classification (ODL-PTNTC) model using CT images. The goal of the ODL-PTNTC technique is to detect and classify the existence of pancreatic tumors and nontumor. The proposed ODL-PTNTC technique includes adaptive window filtering (AWF) technique to remove noise existing in it. In addition, sailfish optimizer based Kapur's Thresholding (SFO-KT) technique is employed for image segmentation process. Moreover, feature extraction using Capsule Network (CapsNet) is derived to generate a set of feature vectors. Furthermore, Political Optimizer (PO) with Cascade Forward Neural Network (CFNN) is employed for classification purposes. In order to validate the enhanced performance of the ODL-PTNTC technique, a series of simulations take place and the results are investigated under several aspects. A comprehensive comparative results analysis stated the promising performance of the ODL-PTNTC technique over the recent approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide although substantial advancement has been made in its comprehensive treatment. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has allowed its clinical applications to expand remarkably in recent years. Diverse methods and algorithms are employed by AI to extrapolate new data from clinical records to aid in the treatment of PC. In this review, we will summarize AI's use in several aspects of PC diagnosis and therapy, as well as its limits and potential future research avenues. METHODS We examine the most recent research on the use of AI in PC. The articles are categorized and examined according to the medical task of their algorithm. Two search engines, PubMed and Google Scholar, were used to screen the articles. RESULTS Overall, 66 papers published in 2001 and after were selected. Of the four medical tasks (risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis prediction), diagnosis was the most frequently researched, and retrospective single-center studies were the most prevalent. We found that the different medical tasks and algorithms included in the reviewed studies caused the performance of their models to vary greatly. Deep learning algorithms, on the other hand, produced excellent results in all of the subdivisions studied. CONCLUSIONS AI is a promising tool for helping PC patients and may contribute to improved patient outcomes. The integration of humans and AI in clinical medicine is still in its infancy and requires the in-depth cooperation of multidisciplinary personnel.

Abstract
Deep learning, particularly the generative model, has demonstrated tremendous potential to significantly speed up image reconstruction with reduced measurements recently. Rather than the existing generative models that often optimize the density priors, in this work, by taking advantage of the denoising score matching, homotopic gradients of generative density priors (HGGDP) are exploited for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction. More precisely, to tackle the low-dimensional manifold and low data density region issues in generative density prior, we estimate the target gradients in higher-dimensional space. We train a more powerful noise conditional score network by forming high-dimensional tensor as the network input at the training phase. More artificial noise is also injected in the embedding space. At the reconstruction stage, a homotopy method is employed to pursue the density prior, such as to boost the reconstruction performance. Experiment results implied the remarkable performance of HGGDP in terms of high reconstruction accuracy. Only 10% of the k-space data can still generate image of high quality as effectively as standard MRI reconstructions with the fully sampled data.

Abstract
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019, the rapid spread of the epidemic has brought huge challenges to medical institutions. If the pathological region in the COVID-19 CT image can be automatically segmented, it will help doctors quickly determine the patient's infection, thereby speeding up the diagnosis process. To be able to automatically segment the infected area, we proposed a new network structure and named QC-HC U-Net. First, we combine residual connection and dense connection to form a new connection method and apply it to the encoder and the decoder. Second, we choose to add Hypercolumns in the decoder section. Compared with the benchmark 3D U-Net, the improved network can effectively avoid vanishing gradient while extracting more features. To improve the situation of insufficient data, resampling and data enhancement methods are selected in this paper to expand the datasets. We used 63 cases of MSD lung tumor data for training and testing, continuously verified to ensure the training effect of this model, and then selected 20 cases of public COVID-19 data for training and testing. Experimental results showed that in the segmentation of COVID-19, the specificity and sensitivity were 85.3% and 83.6%, respectively, and in the segmentation of MSD lung tumors, the specificity and sensitivity were 81.45% and 80.93%, respectively, without any fitting.

Abstract
Apical lesions, the general term for chronic infectious diseases, are very common dental diseases in modern life, and are caused by various factors. The current prevailing endodontic treatment makes use of X-ray photography taken from patients where the lesion area is marked manually, which is therefore time consuming. Additionally, for some images the significant details might not be recognizable due to the different shooting angles or doses. To make the diagnosis process shorter and efficient, repetitive tasks should be performed automatically to allow the dentists to focus more on the technical and medical diagnosis, such as treatment, tooth cleaning, or medical communication. To realize the automatic diagnosis, this article proposes and establishes a lesion area analysis model based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). For establishing a standardized database for clinical application, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) with application number 202002030B0 has been approved with the database established by dentists who provided the practical clinical data. In this study, the image data is preprocessed by a Gaussian high-pass filter. Then, an iterative thresholding is applied to slice the X-ray image into several individual tooth sample images. The collection of individual tooth images that comprises the image database are used as input into the CNN migration learning model for training. Seventy percent (70%) of the image database is used for training and validating the model while the remaining 30% is used for testing and estimating the accuracy of the model. The practical diagnosis accuracy of the proposed CNN model is 92.5%. The proposed model successfully facilitated the automatic diagnosis of the apical lesion.

Pancreatic Cancer Survival Prediction: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2021; 2021:1188414.

Abstract
Cancer early detection increases the chances of survival. Some cancer types, like pancreatic cancer, are challenging to diagnose or detect early, and the stages have a fast progression rate. This paper presents the state-of-the-art techniques used in cancer survival prediction, suggesting how these techniques can be implemented in predicting the overall survival of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cancer (pdac) patients. Because of bewildering and high volumes of data, the recent studies highlight the importance of machine learning (ML) algorithms like support vector machines and convolutional neural networks. Studies predict pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cancer (pdac) survival is within the limits of 41.7% at one year, 8.7% at three years, and 1.9% at five years. There is no significant correlation found between the disease stages and the overall survival rate. The implementation of ML algorithms can improve our understanding of cancer progression. ML methods need an appropriate level of validation to be considered in everyday clinical practice. The objective of these techniques is to perform classification, prediction, and estimation. Accurate predictions give pathologists information on the patient's state, surgical treatment to be done, optimal use of resources, individualized therapy, drugs to prescribe, and better patient management.

Abstract
Osteolysis is one of the most prominent reasons of revision surgeries in total joint arthroplasty. This biological phenomenon is induced by wear particles and corrosion products that stimulate inflammatory biological response of surrounding tissues. The eventual responses of osteolysis are the activation of macrophages leading to bone resorption and prosthesis failure. Various factors are involved in the initiation of osteolysis from biological issues, design, material specifications, and model of the prosthesis to the health condition of the patient. Nevertheless, the factors leading to osteolysis are sometimes preventable. Changes in implant design and polyethylene manufacturing are striving to improve overall wear. Osteolysis is clinically asymptomatic and can be diagnosed and analyzed during follow-up sessions through various imaging modalities and methods, such as serial radiographic, CT scan, MRI, and image processing-based methods, especially with the use of artificial neural network algorithms. Deep learning algorithms with a variety of neural network structures such as CNN, U-Net, and Seg-UNet have proved to be efficient algorithms for medical image processing specifically in the field of orthopedics for the detection and segmentation of tumors. These deep learning algorithms can effectively detect and analyze osteolytic lesions well in advance during follow-up sessions in order to administer proper treatments before reaching a critical point. Osteolysis can be treated surgically or nonsurgically with medications. However, revision surgeries are the only solution for the progressive osteolysis. In this literature review, the underlying causes, mechanisms, and treatments of osteolysis are discussed with the main focus on the possible computer-based methods and algorithms that can be effectively employed for the detection of osteolysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an unmet need for noninvasive imaging markers that can help identify the aggressive subtype(s) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at diagnosis and at an earlier time point, and evaluate the efficacy of therapy prior to tumor reduction. In the past few years, there have been two major developments with potential for a significant impact in establishing imaging biomarkers for PDAC and pancreatic cancer premalignancy: (1) hyperpolarized metabolic (HP)-magnetic resonance (MR), which increases the sensitivity of conventional MR by over 10,000-fold, enabling real-time metabolic measurements; and (2) applications of artificial intelligence (AI). OBJECTIVE Our objective of this review was to discuss these two exciting but independent developments (HP-MR and AI) in the realm of PDAC imaging and detection from the available literature to date. METHODS A systematic review following the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines was performed. Studies addressing the utilization of HP-MR and/or AI for early detection, assessment of aggressiveness, and interrogating the early efficacy of therapy in patients with PDAC cited in recent clinical guidelines were extracted from the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The studies were reviewed following predefined exclusion and inclusion criteria, and grouped based on the utilization of HP-MR and/or AI in PDAC diagnosis. RESULTS Part of the goal of this review was to highlight the knowledge gap of early detection in pancreatic cancer by any imaging modality, and to emphasize how AI and HP-MR can address this critical gap. We reviewed every paper published on HP-MR applications in PDAC, including six preclinical studies and one clinical trial. We also reviewed several HP-MR-related articles describing new probes with many functional applications in PDAC. On the AI side, we reviewed all existing papers that met our inclusion criteria on AI applications for evaluating computed tomography (CT) and MR images in PDAC. With the emergence of AI and its unique capability to learn across multimodal data, along with sensitive metabolic imaging using HP-MR, this knowledge gap in PDAC can be adequately addressed. CT is an accessible and widespread imaging modality worldwide as it is affordable; because of this reason alone, most of the data discussed are based on CT imaging datasets. Although there were relatively few MR-related papers included in this review, we believe that with rapid adoption of MR imaging and HP-MR, more clinical data on pancreatic cancer imaging will be available in the near future. CONCLUSIONS Integration of AI, HP-MR, and multimodal imaging information in pancreatic cancer may lead to the development of real-time biomarkers of early detection, assessing aggressiveness, and interrogating early efficacy of therapy in PDAC.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly utilized in medical applications, especially in the field of gastroenterology. AI can assist gastroenterologists in imaging-based testing and prediction of clinical diagnosis, for examples, detecting polyps during colonoscopy, identifying small bowel lesions using capsule endoscopy images, and predicting liver diseases based on clinical parameters. With its high mortality rate, pancreatic cancer can highly benefit from AI since the early detection of small lesion is difficult with conventional imaging techniques and current biomarkers. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a main diagnostic tool with high sensitivity for pancreatic adenocarcinoma and pancreatic cystic lesion. The standard tumor markers have not been effective for diagnosis. There have been recent research studies in AI application in EUS and novel biomarkers to early detect and differentiate malignant pancreatic lesions. The findings are impressive compared to the available traditional methods. Herein, we aim to explore the utility of AI in EUS and novel serum and cyst fluid biomarkers for pancreatic cancer detection.
