AI assistance for solid pancreatic lesions.

Smart Pancreas® is a deep-learning technology developed for endoscopic ultrasound examinations, supporting identification and differentiation of pancreatic solid lesions.

It works during live procedures and with previously acquired EUS images, helping clinicians select the most relevant target for sampling.

The clinical challenge

Similar ultrasound patterns can conceal meaningful differences.

Pancreatic solid lesions can share overlapping sonographic features. Visual uncertainty may complicate characterization, target selection and timely clinical decisions.

“The critical step is turning subtle EUS patterns into a precise, clinically useful target.”
02

How it works

One continuous path from ultrasound to targeted sampling.

Smart Pancreas® supports the EUS workflow while keeping sampling strategy and final interpretation in expert hands.

01

EUS acquisition

Live or previously acquired endoscopic ultrasound images enter the analysis workflow.

02

Lesion localization

The AI detects a solid pancreatic lesion and follows it across ultrasound frames.

03

Pattern analysis

Deep-learning models assess the lesion’s sonographic texture and structural features.

04

Lesion differentiation

The finding is characterized to support differentiation between pancreatic lesion types.

05

Targeted sampling

A precise bounding box supports sampling while the clinician retains final interpretation.

AI capabilities

Designed for focused pancreatic‑lesion assessment.
