Lumen apposing metal stents are now being used to help patients who suffer from cholecystitis (infection of the gallbladder), especially in cases where patients are not candidates for surgery. Lumen apposing metal stents are effective for draining the gallbladder, however, placement is technically challenging. Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence to aid doctors in the deployment of these stents into the gallbladder. The aim of this study is test the performance of an artificial intelligence in providing physicians accurate information for gallbladder drainage.
