This systematic review summarizes the available data on the diagnostic utility of endoscopic AI-based imaging for malignant biliary strictures and cholangiocarcinoma. CNN-based machine learning of cholangioscopy images appears to be the most promising, while CNN-EUS has the best clinical performance application.
Background Artificial intelligence (AI), when applied to computer vision using a convolutional neural network (CNN), is a promising tool in difficult-to-diagnose conditions such as malignant biliary strictures and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The aim of this systematic review is to summarize and review the available data on the diagnostic utility of endoscopic AI-based imaging for malignant biliary strictures and CCA.Methods In this systematic review, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were reviewed for studies published from January 2000 to June 2022. Extracted data included type of endoscopic imaging modality, AI classifiers, and performance measures.Results The search yielded 5 studies involving 1465 patients. Of the 5 included studies, 4 (n=934; 3,775,819 images) used CNN in combination with cholangioscopy, while one study (n=531; 13,210 images) used CNN with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The average image processing speed of CNN with cholangioscopy was 7-15 msec per frame while that of CNN with EUS was 200-300 msec per frame. The highest performance metrics were observed with CNN-cholangioscopy (accuracy 94.9%, sensitivity 94.7%, and specificity 92.1%). CNN-EUS was associated with the greatest clinical performance application, providing station recognition and bile duct segmentation; thus reducing procedure length and providing real-time feedback to the endoscopist.Conclusions Our results suggest that there is increasing evidence to support a role for AI in the diagnosis of malignant biliary strictures and CCA. CNN-based machine leaning of cholangioscopy images appears to be the most promising, while CNN-EUS has the best clinical performance application.
