AI tool to help guide bile duct procedures
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing a new computer tool that uses MRI and CT scans to create a 3D map of the bile ducts. The goal is to help doctors perform a procedure called ERCP more safely and accurately for people with bile duct narrowing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having an ERCP procedure to treat a narrowing (stricture) in your bile duct, which could be benign or cancerous.
- You have already had an MRI (MRCP) and a CT scan of your abdomen as part of your regular care at one of the two participating hospitals.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests an artificial-intelligence computer add-on (an AI “camera guide”) used during a procedure that looks inside the bile ducts. If you have a bile duct narrowing, it may help the doctor more quickly and accurately identify the cause while you undergo the usual procedure.
This trial is testing a tool to predict how long an ERCP procedure will take. It involves ERCPs done by trainees under supervision and uses a tiny camera inside the bile duct.
This trial studies how doctors should best check and manage people with suspected bile duct stones. It may help improve the accuracy and safety of next-step testing and treatment.
This trial tests if a computer program can help doctors place a tube into the bile duct more easily during a procedure called ERCP. It may help people who need this procedure for bile duct problems.
This trial uses a bile sample to help diagnose the cause of a bile duct stricture (a narrowing) that was not clearly identified by standard tests. It may help patients avoid more invasive procedures.
This study tests a tiny camera and ultrasound probe that can be passed through a scope to look inside the bile duct. It may help doctors better diagnose and treat bile duct narrowings that do not cause jaundice.
