“New Publication is in npj Precision Oncology (Nature Portfolio, Impact Factor: 9.9):
‘Anatomically constrained deep learning for clinical-grade volumetric pancreatic cancer segmentation: development, validation, and architectural benchmarking.’
We built a pancreas-localized 3D CNN model for automated PDAC tumor segmentation, trained and validated on 1,859 multi-institutional CT scans.
Highlights:
- DSC of 0.76 — stable across scanners, sites, and slice thickness
- Outperformed a 3D vision transformer benchmark (p < 0.001)
- Matched expert-level agreement on tumor volume (CCC = 0.93)

The same team last month published in Gut journal (IF: 25.8) about their model called as REDMOD.
This model, REDMOD is an automated, mechanistically grounded, longitudinally stable, externally validated AI that surpasses radiologists for PDA detection at its visually occult pre- diagnostic stage.
Reported by over 80+ news outlets.

The same team, now published of its another model called as model BB that is shared initially in npj precision oncology.
This is a major development of early detection and use of AI in PDAC by team of Mayo Clinic, US, Rochester.
