Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) evolved many years ago, but it gained much advancement in recent years for its use in the medical domain. AI with its different subsidiaries, i.e. deep learning and machine learning, examine a large amount of data and performs an essential part in decision-making in addition to conquering the limitations related to human evaluation. Deep learning tries to imitate the functioning of the human brain. It utilizes much more data and intricate algorithms. Machine learning is AI based on automated learning. It utilizes earlier given data and uses algorithms to arrange and identify models. Globally, hepatocellular carcinoma is a major cause of illness and fatality. Although with substantial progress in the whole treatment strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma, managing it is still a major issue. AI in the area of gastroenterology, especially in hepatology, is particularly useful for various investigations of hepatocellular carcinoma because it is a commonly found tumor, and has specific radiological features that enable diagnostic procedures without the requirement of the histological study. However, interpreting and analyzing the resulting images is not always easy due to change of images throughout the disease process. Further, the prognostic process and response to the treatment process could be influenced by numerous components. Currently, AI is utilized in order to diagnose, curative and prediction goals. Future investigations are essential to prevent likely bias, which might subsequently influence the analysis of images and therefore restrict the consent and utilization of such models in medical practices. Moreover, experts are required to realize the real utility of such approaches, along with their associated potencies and constraints.
Core Tip: Globally, hepatocellular carcinoma is a major cause of illness and fatality. Although substantial progress has been made in the treatment strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma, managing it is still a major issue. Artificial intelligence in the area of gastroenterology, especially in hepatology, is particularly useful for various investigations of hepatocellular carcinoma because it is a commonly found tumor and has specific radiological features that enable diagnostic procedures without the requirement of histological study. Artificial intelligence is utilized to diagnose, curative and prediction goals.
