An AI model developed by researchers at Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic detected pancreatic cancer on abdominal CT scans taken up to three years before clinical diagnosis, according to a study published April 28 in Gut.
The model, called the Radiomics-based Early Detection Model, identified 73% of prediagnostic cancers on about 2,000 CT scans at a median of about 16 months before diagnosis.
Analyzed on scans from multiple institutions, imaging systems and protocols, the model is designed to flag elevated pancreatic cancer risk for patients undergoing CT scans for other reasons.
