Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine-needle Aspiration of Solid Pancreatic Lesions With Rapid Staining of Cytological Smears Followed by Whole Slide Scanning and Artificial Intelligence Diagnosis: A Prospective, Multicenter Study.

"All samples were obtained due to the necessity for disease treatment and in accordance with routine clinical workflows. After the pathological diagnoses were confirmed by the pathology departments of the hospitals affiliated with the respective endoscopic centers, the eligible pancreatic puncture Diff-Quik stained smears were borrowed and transferred to Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. There, the self-developed Zhiying Shunxi system was used to capture corresponding traditional light microscope RGB images. After the imaging was completed, all specimens were returned to the endoscopic centers from which they originated. Using the RGB images as input, an artificial intelligence algorithm was developed to assist in differentiating solid pancreatic lesions."
