Artificial intelligence in biliopancreatic endoscopy: Is there any role?

Artificial intelligence (AI) research in endoscopy is being translated at rapid pace with a number of approved devices now available for use luminal endoscopy. However, the published literature AI biliopancreatic predominantly limited to early pre-clinical studies including applications diagnostic EUS and patient risk stratification. Potential future cases are highlighted this manuscript optical characterisation strictures during cholangioscopy, prediction post-ERCP acute pancreatitis selective biliary duct cannulation difficulty, automated report generation novel AI-based quality key performance metrics. To realise full potential accelerate innovation, it crucial that robust inter-disciplinary collaborations formed between endoscopists researchers.
