Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to verify the auxiliary role of the artificial intelligence (AI) system in mediastinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) scans. The main questions it aims to answer are as follows:

  1. A comparison of the image recognition accuracy between the AI system and EUS endoscopists.
  2. Whether the AI system can improve the quality of mediastinal scans for EUS endoscopists.

Participants will conduct mediastinal EUS with or without the assistance of the AI system.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects who meet any of the following criteria cannot be selected for this trial:

First. The patient's physical condition does not meet the requirements of conventional endoscopic ultrasonography:

Poor physical condition, including hemoglobin ≤8.0g/dl, severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency, etc. Anesthesia assessment failed Pregnancy or breastfeeding In the acute stage of chemical and corrosive injury, it is very easy to cause perforation Recent acute coronary syndrome or clinically unstable ischemic heart attack Heart disease patients with right-to-left shunt, patients with severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery pressure> 90mmHg), patients with uncontrolled systemic hypertension and patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome.

Second. Disagree to participate in this study.

Third. There are other problems that do not meet the requirements of this research or that affect the results of the research:

  1. Mediastinal lesions have previously undergone surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy;
  2. Mental illness, drug addiction, inability to express themselves or other diseases that may affect follow-up.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    AI-assisted group

    Endoscopists perform scans with the assistance of AI device.

    Device: Artificial intelligence device

  • Placebo comparator
    Control group

    Endoscopists perform scans without the assistance of AI device.

    Device: Artificial intelligence device

Interventions

  • DeviceArtificial intelligence device

    This AI device can provide prompts for standard sites of pancreatic scans and anatomical structures. It may also suggest the next operation methods.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The completeness for standard station scanning

    The primary outcome measure was the completeness for standard station scanning of EUS by endoscopists in the two groups. This was calculated as the number of stations successfully scanned divided by the total number of stations that should have been scanned.

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. The completeness of anatomical structure scanning

    It calculated as the number of anatomical structures successfully scanned divided by the total number of structures that should have been scanned.

    Time frame: 1 year

  2. Procedure time

    It defined as the observation time only, excluding the time spent on puncture, elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, or other lesion observation or treatment.

    Time frame: 1 year

  3. The incidence of adverse events

    The incidence of adverse events in both groups during the entire research process.

    Time frame: 1 year
