Core Tip: Recent advancements in the diagnosis of biliopancreatic disease have significantly transformed clinical practice. Enhanced imaging techniques such as endoscopic ultrasound and computed tomography can provide detailed anatomical insights for accurate diagnosis. Additionally, the integration of biomarkers and artificial intelligence technologies can improve early disease detection and diagnostic precision. These innovations facilitate targeted treatment strategies tailored to individual patient needs, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life. As the field continues to evolve, ongoing research and collaboration among healthcare professionals will be essential to further refine the diagnostic tools and approaches for biliopancreatic diseases.
