A Mayo Clinic-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model can help specialists detect pancreatic cancer on routine abdominal CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. It identifies subtle signs of disease before tumors are visible, when curative treatment may still be possible. The findings, published in Gut, mark a milestone in Mayo Clinic's multiyear research effort to enable earlier detection of one of the deadliest cancers.

When Artificial Intelligence Begins to Understand Brain Surgery
We developed an AI framework that recognizes 12 surgical steps in MCA aneurysm clipping — one of the most detailed step-classification models published to date.
As open clipping cases decline, structured AI-driven learning may help preserve microsurgical mastery for the next generation.
Grateful to Prof. Lawton , Prof. Preul, Prof. Li, Jiuxu Chen, Thomas On, Xu Yuan, and the NeuroPub team at BNI for making this possible.
AI won’t replace surgeons—it will elevate surgical education.
