Core Tip
Core Tip: The application of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography is one of the most potential roles of artificial intelligence in pancreaticobiliary disorders. EUS elastography becomes a promising method to evaluate pancreatic lesions by providing information of tissue elasticity, which may correlate with malignant characteristics. Incomplete elastographic delineation, especially in large tumor size, as well as compelling intra-/inter-observer variability also still become limitations in performing adequate EUS elastography examination on pancreatic lesions.
