More Details: Abstract Background and Aims Endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided fine‐needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS‐FNA/B) is considered to be a first‐line procedure for the pathological diagnosis of pancreatic cancer owing to its high accuracy and low complication rate. The number of new cases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is increasing, and its accurate pathological diagnosis poses a challenge for cytopathologists. Our aim was to develop a hyperspectral imaging (HSI)‐based convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm to aid in the diagnosis of pancreatic EUS‐FNA cytology specimens. Methods HSI images were captured of pancreatic EUS‐FNA cytological specimens from benign pancreatic tissues (n = 33) and PDAC (n = 39) prepared using a liquid‐based cytology method. A CNN was established to test the diagnostic performance, and Attribution Guided Factorization Visualization (AGF‐Visualization) was used to visualize the regions of important classification features identified by the model. Results A total of 1913 HSI images were obtained. Our ResNet18‐SimSiam model achieved an accuracy of 0.9204, sensitivity of 0.9310 and specificity of 0.9123 (area under the curve of 0.9625) when trained on HSI images for the differentiation of PDAC cytological specimens from benign pancreatic cells. AGF‐Visualization confirmed that the diagnoses were based on the features of tumor cell nuclei. Conclusions An HSI‐based model was developed to diagnose cytological PDAC specimens obtained using EUS‐guided sampling. Under the supervision of experienced cytopathologists, we performed multi‐staged consecutive in‐depth learning of the model. Its superior diagnostic performance could be of value for cytologists when diagnosing PDAC.
