Abstract

Early detection is crucial for improving survival rates of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), yet current diagnostic methods can often fail at this stage. Recently, there has been significant interest in improving risk stratification and developing imaging biomarkers, through novel imaging techniques, and most notably, artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This review provides an overview of these advancements, with a focus on deep learning methods for early detection of PDA.
