PREDICTION OF PANCREATIC DUCTAL ADENOCARCINOMA USING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IMAGES OF PANCREAS

摘要

According to some implementations of the present disclosure, a system for identifying individuals at risk for PDAC includes a CT scanner, a memory, and a control system. The CT scanner is configured to generate CT image data associated with a pancreas of a patient. The memory stores machine-readable instructions. The control system includes one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions. The CT image data associated with the pancreas of the patient is received. The received CT image data is processed to output a set of CT image features. The set of CT image features is received as an input to a machine learning PDAC prediction algorithm. An indication of whether the patient is at high risk for PDAC is determined as an output of the machine learning PDAC prediction algorithm.
