Enhanced ERCP tumor assessment using AI
ERCP involves both endoscopy and fluoroscopy on a region with limited access. Accordingly, it poses several challenges for the gastroenterologist performing the procedure: imaging and artificial intelligence are key technologies to solve these challenges. They are used to reconstruct multiangle 2D X-ray images into a 3D image that will help the gastroenterologists in real-time navigation, reducing any complications involved in the navigation process. AI can be trained to accurately classify each tumor found by ERCP and check whether it is cancerous or not.

AI in ERCP gallstones and strictures treatment
When performing ERCP for stone removal and stricture treatment, the gastroenterologist must overcome several challenges, namely navigation in the region of interest and the choice of the most fitting treatment that must be selected and implemented. AI enables to reconstructing a 3D image from multi-angle X-ray images or ultrasound slices. It is also trained to accurately classify the type of blockage that necessitated the ERCP procedure in the first place, resulting in quicker and more efficient ERCP procedures.
