Is PANCREASaver® an app for me to use?

No. PANCREASaver® is AI detection software provided to medical institutions — it works in the background to assist radiologists when you undergo an abdominal CT. You do not need to install anything.

Do I need a separate “pancreas AI” CT scan?

No. PANCREASaver® analyzes the abdominal CT images you already have — adding an “AI assistant” read to the same scan, with no repeat scanning or extra exams. Whether a scan is appropriate should be discussed with your physician.

If the AI flags a suspicious lesion, do I have cancer?

An AI flag marks high risk and reminds the physician to take another look; the final diagnosis is made by the physician using all imaging and clinical information.

How long until I get the results?

It depends on the institution's process. The AI read completes in about 60-90 seconds; a radiologist then reviews and issues the official report, typically within a few business days.

I have a family history — how do I start?

Start by seeing a gastroenterologist or family physician to discuss your risk; the doctor will arrange the appropriate exam and frequency.

Is this service covered by insurance?

Reimbursement for PANCREASaver® depends on the institution and applicable health regulations — please confirm costs and coverage directly with your healthcare provider.

01Why pancreatic cancer is “silent” early on

Before Screening

The pancreas sits deep in the abdomen; tumors rarely press on nerves or organs until they grow large. By the time jaundice, weight loss or back pain appears, the cancer is often no longer early — that's why it's called the silent killer.

02Who is at higher risk? How often to check?

Before Screening

Age 60+, family history, long-term smoking, diabetes, and recurrent pancreatitis raise risk. Your doctor may recommend regular abdominal imaging (CT or MRI). Younger people without risk factors follow routine checkup advice.

03Preparing for an abdominal CT

Before Screening

Usually fast for 4–6 hours and pause certain medications (e.g. metformin) as instructed. The scan takes 10–15 minutes lying still with breath holds. Tell your doctor about allergies or kidney issues.

04What role does AI play in CT reading?

After Diagnosis

AI is the radiologist's “second pair of eyes”: it scans images first and flags suspicious findings; the physician reviews and confirms. AI doesn't diagnose and doesn't replace doctors — it makes sure small lesions aren't missed.

05After a tumor is found: what happens next

After Diagnosis

Staging follows: further imaging (MRI, endoscopic ultrasound) defines the extent, and a multidisciplinary team (surgery, oncology, radiology, pathology) plans treatment. The earlier it's found, the higher the chance of cure.

06Follow-up and life after treatment

Follow-up

Regular follow-up (imaging + tumor markers) is the core of survivorship. Lifestyle: balanced diet, moderate exercise, no smoking, limited alcohol, controlled blood sugar. Emotional support matters too — talk with family or a support group.

The AI marks a region as high-risk to remind the physician "this deserves another look"; the final diagnosis is made by the physician combining all imaging and clinical information.

Depends on the institution. AI reading takes 60–90 seconds; the radiologist's review and formal report typically take a few business days.
