超声内镜引导成像的计算机辅助分析用于胰腺癌和慢性胰腺炎的鉴别

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has the unique ability to obtain specimens for cytological analysis, thus play a key role in the diagnosis of pancreatic disease especially in evaluation patients with inconclusive findings. However, the diagnostic yields of EUS guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) for pancreatic cancer (PC) decreased in the presence of chronic pancreatitis (CP) because tumour and inflammation could have some changes similar in appearance. Therefore, distinguishing pancreatic cancer from chronic pancreatitis is a clinical challenge with current imaging agents.
