Abstract

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to develop a deep learning model capable of discriminating between pancreatic plasma cystic neoplasms (SCN) and mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) by leveraging patient-specific clinical features and imaging outcomes. The intent is to offer valuable diagnostic support to clinicians in their clinical decision-making processes.
