What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to develop and validate an artificial intelligence system designed to assist in mediastinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) scanning. The study will collect 200 EUS video cases to compare the accuracy of image recognition between the AI system and trained ultrasound endoscopists. Additionally, it will assess whether the AI can enhance the completeness and efficiency of the scanning process. Participants will undergo EUS with or without the AI assistance to evaluate its effectiveness.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 80 who require endoscopic ultrasonography.

Not a fit: Patients with severe physical conditions or those who do not meet the requirements for conventional endoscopic ultrasonography will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this AI system could significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of mediastinal ultrasound procedures for patients.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using AI for imaging and diagnostic purposes, suggesting potential success for this approach.
