Abstract

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is one of the most accurate methods for determining the originating layer of subepithelial lesions (SELs). However, the accuracy is greatly influenced by the expertise and proficiency of the endoscopist. In this study, we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model to identify the originating layer of SELs in the esophagus and evaluate its efficacy.
