Improving Pancreas Segmentation in Chronic Pancreatitis

Description

Researchers at Aalborg University Hospital in Denmark have developed an AI-based segmentation model that can accurately segment the pancreas in both healthy individuals and those with chronic pancreatitis (CP). The model was trained on 326 CT scans from the hospital, including both CP patients and healthy controls. The model's performance was found to be influenced more by anatomical and physiological factors than technical CT parameters. The model holds promise for clinical practice and research, potentially improving patient outcomes. (Summary provided by Infomedia)
