Abstract

PURPOSE: In recent years, the detection of the duodenal papilla and surgical cannula has become a critical task in computer-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) cannulation operations. The complex surgical anatomy, coupled with the small size of the duodenal papillary orifice and its high similarity to the background, poses significant challenges to effective computer-assisted cannulation. To address these challenges, we present a deep learning-driven graphical user interface (GUI) to assist ERCP cannulation.
