Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality and it is often diagnosed at advanced stages due to non-specific clinical presentation. Disease detection at localized disease stage followed by surgical resection remains the only potentially curative treatment. In this era of precision medicine, a multifaceted approach to early detection of PDAC includes targeted screening in high-risk populations, serum biomarkers and "liquid biopsies", and artificial intelligence augmented tumor detection from radiologic examinations. In this review, we will review these emerging techniques in the early detection of PDAC.

[PMID: 38927945 PMCID: PMC11201559 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16122240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most formidable challenges in oncology, characterized by its late detection and poor prognosis. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are emerging as pivotal tools in revolutionizing PDAC care across various dimensions. Consequently, many studies have focused on using AI to improve the standard of PDAC care. This review article attempts to consolidate the literature from the past five years to identify high-impact, novel, and meaningful studies focusing on their transformative potential in PDAC management. Our analysis spans a broad spectrum of applications, including but not limited to patient risk stratification, early detection, and prediction of treatment outcomes, thereby highlighting AI's potential role in enhancing the quality and precision of PDAC care. By categorizing the literature into discrete sections reflective of a patient's journey from screening and diagnosis through treatment and survivorship, this review offers a comprehensive examination of AI-driven methodologies in addressing the multifaceted challenges of PDAC. Each study is summarized by explaining the dataset, ML model, evaluation metrics, and impact the study has on improving PDAC-related outcomes. We also discuss prevailing obstacles and limitations inherent in the application of AI within the PDAC context, offering insightful perspectives on potential future directions and innovations.

AI-luminating Artificial Intelligence in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Narrative Review on the Role of AI in Endoscopy, Histology, and Imaging for IBD. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2024:izae030.

Abstract
Endoscopy, histology, and cross-sectional imaging serve as fundamental pillars in the detection, monitoring, and prognostication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, interpretation of these studies often relies on subjective human judgment, which can lead to delays, intra- and interobserver variability, and potential diagnostic discrepancies. With the rising incidence of IBD globally coupled with the exponential digitization of these data, there is a growing demand for innovative approaches to streamline diagnosis and elevate clinical decision-making. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies emerge as a timely solution to address the evolving challenges in IBD. Early studies using deep learning and radiomics approaches for endoscopy, histology, and imaging in IBD have demonstrated promising results for using AI to detect, diagnose, characterize, phenotype, and prognosticate IBD. Nonetheless, the available literature has inherent limitations and knowledge gaps that need to be addressed before AI can transition into a mainstream clinical tool for IBD. To better understand the potential value of integrating AI in IBD, we review the available literature to summarize our current understanding and identify gaps in knowledge to inform future investigations.

Assessing the robustness of a machine-learning model for early detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDA): evaluating resilience to variations in image acquisition and radiomics workflow using image perturbation methods. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024; 49:964-974. [PMID: 38175255 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-023-04127-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate robustness of a radiomics-based support vector machine (SVM) model for detection of visually occult PDA on pre-diagnostic CTs by simulating common variations in image acquisition and radiomics workflow using image perturbation methods. METHODS Eighteen algorithmically generated-perturbations, which simulated variations in image noise levels (σ, 2σ, 3σ, 5σ), image rotation [both CT image and the corresponding pancreas segmentation mask by 45° and 90° in axial plane], voxel resampling (isotropic and anisotropic), gray-level discretization [bin width (BW) 32 and 64)], and pancreas segmentation (sequential erosions by 3, 4, 6, and 8 pixels and dilations by 3, 4, and 6 pixels from the boundary), were introduced to the original (unperturbed) test subset (n = 128; 45 pre-diagnostic CTs, 83 control CTs with normal pancreas). Radiomic features were extracted from pancreas masks of these additional test subsets, and the model's performance was compared vis-a-vis the unperturbed test subset. RESULTS The model correctly classified 43 out of 45 pre-diagnostic CTs and 75 out of 83 control CTs in the unperturbed test subset, achieving 92.2% accuracy and 0.98 AUC. Model's performance was unaffected by a three-fold increase in noise level except for sensitivity declining to 80% at 3σ (p = 0.02). Performance remained comparable vis-a-vis the unperturbed test subset despite variations in image rotation (p = 0.99), voxel resampling (p = 0.25-0.31), change in gray-level BW to 32 (p = 0.31-0.99), and erosions/dilations up to 4 pixels from the pancreas boundary (p = 0.12-0.34). CONCLUSION The model's high performance for detection of visually occult PDA was robust within a broad range of clinically relevant variations in image acquisition and radiomics workflow.

Abstract
The incidence of pancreatic cancer is rising. At present, pancreatic cancer is the third most common cancer-causing death in Germany, but it is expected to become the second in 2030 and finally the leading cause of cancer death in 2050. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PC) is generally diagnosed at advanced stages, and 5-year-survival has remained poor. Early detection of sporadic PC at stage IA, however, can yield a 5-year-survival rate of about 80%. Early detection initiatives aim at identifying persons at high risk. People with new-onset diabetes at age 50 or older have attracted much interest. Novel strategies regarding how to detect sporadic PC at an early stage are being discussed.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive and difficult-to-detect cancer with a poor prognosis. Late diagnosis is common due to a lack of early symptoms, specific markers, and the challenging location of the pancreas. Imaging technologies have improved diagnosis, but there is still room for improvement in standardizing guidelines. Biopsies and histopathological analysis are challenging due to tumor heterogeneity. Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolutionizes healthcare by improving diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. AI algorithms can analyze medical images with precision, aiding in early disease detection. AI also plays a role in personalized medicine by analyzing patient data to tailor treatment plans. It streamlines administrative tasks, such as medical coding and documentation, and provides patient assistance through AI chatbots. However, challenges include data privacy, security, and ethical considerations. This review article focuses on the potential of AI in transforming pancreatic cancer care, offering improved diagnostics, personalized treatments, and operational efficiency, leading to better patient outcomes.

MRI/RNA-Seq-Based Radiogenomics and Artificial Intelligence for More Accurate Staging of Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:88. [PMID: 38203254 PMCID: PMC10778815 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25010088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Accurate staging of bladder cancer assists in identifying optimal treatment (e.g., transurethral resection vs. radical cystectomy vs. bladder preservation). However, currently, about one-third of patients are over-staged and one-third are under-staged. There is a pressing need for a more accurate staging modality to evaluate patients with bladder cancer to assist clinical decision-making. We hypothesize that MRI/RNA-seq-based radiogenomics and artificial intelligence can more accurately stage bladder cancer. A total of 40 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and matched formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues were available for analysis. Twenty-eight (28) MRI and their matched FFPE tissues were available for training analysis, and 12 matched MRI and FFPE tissues were used for validation. FFPE samples were subjected to bulk RNA-seq, followed by bioinformatics analysis. In the radiomics, several hundred image-based features from bladder tumors in MRI were extracted and analyzed. Overall, the model obtained mean sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 94%, 88%, and 92%, respectively, in differentiating intra- vs. extra-bladder cancer. The proposed model demonstrated improvement in the three matrices by 17%, 33%, and 25% and 17%, 16%, and 17% as compared to the genetic- and radiomic-based models alone, respectively. The radiogenomics of bladder cancer provides insight into discriminative features capable of more accurately staging bladder cancer. Additional studies are underway.

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
BACKGROUND & AIMS The aims of our case-control study were (1) to develop an automated 3-dimensional (3D) Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) on diagnostic computed tomography scans (CTs), (2) evaluate its generalizability on multi-institutional public data sets, (3) its utility as a potential screening tool using a simulated cohort with high pretest probability, and (4) its ability to detect visually occult preinvasive cancer on prediagnostic CTs. METHODS A 3D-CNN classification system was trained using algorithmically generated bounding boxes and pancreatic masks on a curated data set of 696 portal phase diagnostic CTs with PDA and 1080 control images with a nonneoplastic pancreas. The model was evaluated on (1) an intramural hold-out test subset (409 CTs with PDA, 829 controls); (2) a simulated cohort with a case-control distribution that matched the risk of PDA in glycemically defined new-onset diabetes, and Enriching New-Onset Diabetes for Pancreatic Cancer score ≥3; (3) multi-institutional public data sets (194 CTs with PDA, 80 controls), and (4) a cohort of 100 prediagnostic CTs (i.e., CTs incidentally acquired 3-36 months before clinical diagnosis of PDA) without a focal mass, and 134 controls. RESULTS Of the CTs in the intramural test subset, 798 (64%) were from other hospitals. The model correctly classified 360 CTs (88%) with PDA and 783 control CTs (94%), with a mean accuracy 0.92 (95% CI, 0.91-0.94), area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve of 0.97 (95% CI, 0.96-0.98), sensitivity of 0.88 (95% CI, 0.85-0.91), and specificity of 0.95 (95% CI, 0.93-0.96). Activation areas on heat maps overlapped with the tumor in 350 of 360 CTs (97%). Performance was high across tumor stages (sensitivity of 0.80, 0.87, 0.95, and 1.0 on T1 through T4 stages, respectively), comparable for hypodense vs isodense tumors (sensitivity: 0.90 vs 0.82), different age, sex, CT slice thicknesses, and vendors (all P > .05), and generalizable on both the simulated cohort (accuracy, 0.95 [95% 0.94-0.95]; AUROC curve, 0.97 [95% CI, 0.94-0.99]) and public data sets (accuracy, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.82-0.90]; AUROC curve, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.86-0.95]). Despite being exclusively trained on diagnostic CTs with larger tumors, the model could detect occult PDA on prediagnostic CTs (accuracy, 0.84 [95% CI, 0.79-0.88]; AUROC curve, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.86-0.94]; sensitivity, 0.75 [95% CI, 0.67-0.84]; and specificity, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.85-0.95]) at a median 475 days (range, 93-1082 days) before clinical diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS This automated artificial intelligence model trained on a large and diverse data set shows high accuracy and generalizable performance for detection of PDA on diagnostic CTs as well as for visually occult PDA on prediagnostic CTs. Prospective validation with blood-based biomarkers is warranted to assess the potential for early detection of sporadic PDA in high-risk individuals.

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
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to transform medical imaging by leveraging the vast data contained in medical images. Deep learning and radiomics are the two main AI methods currently being applied within radiology. Deep learning uses a layered set of self-correcting algorithms to develop a mathematical model that best fits the data. Radiomics converts imaging data into mineable features such as signal intensity, shape, texture, and higher-order features. Both methods have the potential to improve disease detection, characterization, and prognostication. This article reviews the current status of artificial intelligence in pancreatic imaging and critically appraises the quality of existing evidence using the radiomics quality score.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal human malignancies, in part because it is often diagnosed at late stages when surgery and systemic therapies are either unfeasible or ineffective. Therefore, diagnosing pancreatic cancer in earlier stages is important for effective treatment. However, because the signs and symptoms may be nonspecific and not apparent until the disease is at a late stage, the timely diagnoses of pancreatic cancer can be difficult to achieve. Recent studies have shown that selective screening and increased usage of biomarkers could improve the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. In this review, we discuss recent advancements in the early detection of pancreatic ductal carcinoma and precancerous lesions. These include innovations in imaging modalities, the diagnostic utility of various biomarkers, biopsy techniques, and population-based surveillance approaches. Additionally, we discuss how machine learning methods are being applied to develop integrated methods of identifying individuals at high risk of developing pancreatic disease. In the future, the overall survival of pancreatic cancer patients could be improved by the development and adoption of these new methods and techniques.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States by 2030. This is in part due to the paucity of reliable screening and diagnostic options for early detection. Amongst known pre-malignant pancreatic lesions, pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are the most prevalent. The current standard of care for the diagnosis and classification of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) involves cross-sectional imaging studies and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and, when indicated, EUS-guided fine needle aspiration and cyst fluid analysis. However, this is suboptimal for the identification and risk stratification of PCLs, with accuracy of only 65-75% for detecting mucinous PCLs. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising tool that has been applied to improve accuracy in screening for solid tumors, including breast, lung, cervical, and colon cancer. More recently, it has shown promise in diagnosing pancreatic cancer by identifying high-risk populations, risk-stratifying premalignant lesions, and predicting the progression of IPMNs to adenocarcinoma. This review summarizes the available literature on artificial intelligence in the screening and prognostication of precancerous lesions in the pancreas, and streamlining the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

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.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the third most lethal cancer in the United States, with a 5-year life expectancy of 11%. Most symptoms manifest at an advanced stage of the disease when surgery is no longer appropriate. The dire prognosis of PDAC warrants new strategies to improve the outcomes of patients, and early detection has garnered significant attention. However, early detection of PDAC is most often incidental, emphasizing the importance of developing new early detection screening strategies. Due to the low incidence of the disease in the general population, much of the focus for screening has turned to individuals at high risk of PDAC. This enriches the screening population and balances the risks associated with pancreas interventions. The cancers that are found in these high-risk individuals by MRI and/or EUS screening show favorable 73% 5-year overall survival. Even with the emphasis on screening in enriched high-risk populations, only a minority of incident cancers are detected this way. One strategy to improve early detection outcomes is to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into biomarker discovery and risk models. This expert review summarizes recent publications that have developed AI algorithms for the applications of risk stratification of PDAC using radiomics and electronic health records. Furthermore, this review illustrates the current uses of radiomics and biomarkers in AI for early detection of PDAC. Finally, various challenges and potential solutions are highlighted regarding the use of AI in medicine for early detection purposes.

Abstract
With the integration of nanotechnology into the medical field at large, great strides have been made in the development of nanomedicines for tackling different diseases, including cancers. To date, various cancer nanomedicines have demonstrated success in preclinical studies, improving therapeutic outcomes, prolonging survival, and/or decreasing side effects. However, the translation from bench to bedside remains challenging. While a number of nanomedicines have entered clinical trials, only a few have been approved for clinical applications. In this review, we highlight the most recent progress in cancer nanomedicine, discuss current clinical advances and challenges for the translation of cancer nanomedicines, and provide our viewpoints on accelerating clinical translation. We expect this review to benefit the future development of cancer nanotherapeutics specifically from the clinical perspective.

Abstract
The incidence of pancreatic cancer is rising in Germany. At present pancreatic cancer is the third commonest cause of cancer death but is expected to become the second in 2030 and finally the leading cause of cancer death in 2050. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PC) is generally diagnosed at far advanced stages and 5-year-survival has remained poor. Modifiable risk factors of PC are tobacco smoking, excess body weight, alcohol use, type 2-diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. Smoking cessation and -in case of obesity- intentional weight loss can reduce PC risk by as much as 50 %. Early detection of asymptomatic sporadic PC at stage IA - stage IA-PC now has a 5-year-survival rate of about 80 %- has become a realistic chance for people older than 50 years with new-onset diabetes.

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
Early detection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is complicated as PDAC remains asymptomatic until cancer advances to late stages when treatment is mostly ineffective. Stratifying the risk of developing PDAC can improve early detection as subsequent screening of high-risk individuals through specialized surveillance systems reduces the chance of misdiagnosis at the initial stage of cancer. Risk stratification is however challenging as PDAC lacks specific predictive biomarkers. Studies reported that the pancreas undergoes local morphological changes in response to underlying biological evolution associated with PDAC development. Accurate identification of these changes can help stratify the risk of PDAC. In this retrospective study, an extensive radiomic analysis of the precancerous pancreatic subregions was performed using abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) scans. The analysis was performed using 324 pancreatic subregions identified in 108 contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans with equal proportion from healthy control, pre-diagnostic, and diagnostic groups. In a pairwise feature analysis, several textural features were found potentially predictive of PDAC. A machine learning classifier was then trained to perform risk prediction of PDAC by automatically classifying the CT scans into healthy control (low-risk) and pre-diagnostic (high-risk) classes and specifying the subregion(s) likely to develop a tumor. The proposed model was trained on CT scans from multiple phases. Whereas using 42 CT scans from the venous phase, model validation was performed which resulted in ~89.3% classification accuracy on average, with sensitivity and specificity reaching 86% and 93%, respectively, for predicting the development of PDAC (i.e., high-risk). To our knowledge, this is the first model that unveiled microlevel precancerous changes across pancreatic subregions and quantified the risk of developing PDAC. The model demonstrated improved prediction by 3.3% in comparison to the state-of-the-art method that considers the global (whole pancreas) features for PDAC prediction.

Radiomics-based machine learning (ML) classifier for detection of type 2 diabetes on standard-of-care abdomen CTs: a proof-of-concept study. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2022; 47:3806-3816. [PMID: 36085379 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-022-03668-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine if pancreas radiomics-based AI model can detect the CT imaging signature of type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS Total 107 radiomic features were extracted from volumetrically segmented normal pancreas in 422 T2D patients and 456 age-matched controls. Dataset was randomly split into training (300 T2D, 300 control CTs) and test subsets (122 T2D, 156 control CTs). An XGBoost model trained on 10 features selected through top-K-based selection method and optimized through threefold cross-validation on training subset was evaluated on test subset. RESULTS Model correctly classified 73 (60%) T2D patients and 96 (62%) controls yielding F1-score, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and AUC of 0.57, 0.62, 0.61, 0.55, and 0.65, respectively. Model's performance was equivalent across gender, CT slice thicknesses, and CT vendors (p values > 0.05). There was no difference between correctly classified versus misclassified patients in the mean (range) T2D duration [4.5 (0-15.4) versus 4.8 (0-15.7) years, p = 0.8], antidiabetic treatment [insulin (22% versus 18%), oral antidiabetics (10% versus 18%), both (41% versus 39%) (p > 0.05)], and treatment duration [5.4 (0-15) versus 5 (0-13) years, p = 0.4]. CONCLUSION Pancreas radiomics-based AI model can detect the imaging signature of T2D. Further refinement and validation are needed to evaluate its potential for opportunistic T2D detection on millions of CTs that are performed annually.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is among the most challenging forms of cancer to treat, owing to its late diagnosis and aggressive nature that reduces the survival rate drastically. Pancreatic cancer diagnosis has been primarily based on imaging, but the current state-of-the-art imaging provides a poor prognosis, thus limiting clinicians' treatment options. The advancement of a cancer diagnosis has been enhanced through the integration of artificial intelligence and imaging modalities to make better clinical decisions. In this review, we examine how AI models can improve the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer using different imaging modalities along with a discussion on the emerging trends in an AI-driven diagnosis, based on cytopathology and serological markers. Ethical concerns regarding the use of these tools have also been discussed.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest disease, with a five-year overall survival rate of just 11%. The pancreatic cancer patients diagnosed with early screening have a median overall survival of nearly ten years, compared with 1.5 years for those not diagnosed with early screening. Therefore, early diagnosis and early treatment of pancreatic cancer are particularly critical. However, as a rare disease, the general screening cost of pancreatic cancer is high, the accuracy of existing tumor markers is not enough, and the efficacy of treatment methods is not exact. In terms of early diagnosis, artificial intelligence technology can quickly locate high-risk groups through medical images, pathological examination, biomarkers, and other aspects, then screening pancreatic cancer lesions early. At the same time, the artificial intelligence algorithm can also be used to predict the survival time, recurrence risk, metastasis, and therapy response which could affect the prognosis. In addition, artificial intelligence is widely used in pancreatic cancer health records, estimating medical imaging parameters, developing computer-aided diagnosis systems, etc. Advances in AI applications for pancreatic cancer will require a concerted effort among clinicians, basic scientists, statisticians, and engineers. Although it has some limitations, it will play an essential role in overcoming pancreatic cancer in the foreseeable future due to its mighty computing power.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a modern approach based on computer science that develops programs and algorithms to make devices intelligent and efficient for performing tasks that usually require skilled human intelligence. AI involves various subsets, including machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), conventional neural networks, fuzzy logic, and speech recognition, with unique capabilities and functionalities that can improve the performances of modern medical sciences. Such intelligent systems simplify human intervention in clinical diagnosis, medical imaging, and decision-making ability. In the same era, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) emerges as a next-generation bio-analytical tool that combines network-linked biomedical devices with a software application for advancing human health. In this review, we discuss the importance of AI in improving the capabilities of IoMT and point-of-care (POC) devices used in advanced healthcare sectors such as cardiac measurement, cancer diagnosis, and diabetes management. The role of AI in supporting advanced robotic surgeries developed for advanced biomedical applications is also discussed in this article. The position and importance of AI in improving the functionality, detection accuracy, decision-making ability of IoMT devices, and evaluation of associated risks assessment is discussed carefully and critically in this review. This review also encompasses the technological and engineering challenges and prospects for AI-based cloud-integrated personalized IoMT devices for designing efficient POC biomedical systems suitable for next-generation intelligent healthcare.

Segmentation of Pancreatic Subregions in Computed Tomography Images. J Imaging 2022; 8:jimaging8070195.

Abstract
The accurate segmentation of pancreatic subregions (head, body, and tail) in CT images provides an opportunity to examine the local morphological and textural changes in the pancreas. Quantifying such changes aids in understanding the spatial heterogeneity of the pancreas and assists in the diagnosis and treatment planning of pancreatic cancer. Manual outlining of pancreatic subregions is tedious, time-consuming, and prone to subjective inconsistency. This paper presents a multistage anatomy-guided framework for accurate and automatic 3D segmentation of pancreatic subregions in CT images. Using the delineated pancreas, two soft-label maps were estimated for subregional segmentation—one by training a fully supervised naïve Bayes model that considers the length and volumetric proportions of each subregional structure based on their anatomical arrangement, and the other by using the conventional deep learning U-Net architecture for 3D segmentation. The U-Net model then estimates the joint probability of the two maps and performs optimal segmentation of subregions. Model performance was assessed using three datasets of contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans: one public NIH dataset of the healthy pancreas, and two datasets D1 and D2 (one for each of pre-cancerous and cancerous pancreas). The model demonstrated excellent performance during the multifold cross-validation using the NIH dataset, and external validation using D1 and D2. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first automated model for the segmentation of pancreatic subregions in CT images. A dataset consisting of reference anatomical labels for subregions in all images of the NIH dataset is also established.

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.
