Digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC) findings achieve high diagnostic accuracy for neoplastic bile duct lesions. To date, there is not a universally accepted DSOC classification. Endoscopists' Intra and interobserver agreements vary widely. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) assessment through artificial intelligence (AI) tools is almost exclusively for intrahepatic CCA (iCCA). Therefore, more AI tools are necessary for assessing extrahepatic neoplastic bile duct lesions. In Ecuador, the investigators have recently proposed an AI model to classify bile duct lesions during real-time DSOC, which accurately detected malignancy patterns. This research pursues a clinical validation of our AI model for distinguishing between neoplastic and non-neoplastic bile duct lesions, compared with high DSOC experienced endoscopists.
