Core Tip

Core Tip: This editorial emphasizes the revolutionary impact of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning and deep learning techniques like convolutional neural networks (CNNs), in healthcare. Highlighting the limitations of traditional, slightly invasive blood tests for assessing body iron load, it advocates for magnetic resonance imaging 's non-invasive advantages. The editorial underscores the critical role of AI and CNNs in improving disease diagnosis and treatment, especially through the precise detection of minor changes in liver iron levels. However, it points out the significant hurdle of lacking open-access datasets, which hampers medical research progress. The call for standardized datasets is a crucial step towards leveraging AI in medical imaging, promising to transform patient care and management.
