Early and accurate diagnosis of steatotic liver by artificial intelligence (AI)-supported ultrasonography.
Steatotic liver disease is the most frequent chronic liver disease worldwide. Ultrasonography (US) is commonly employed for the assessment and diagnosis. Few information is available on the possible use of artificial intelligence (AI) to ameliorate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography. ⋯ The use of AI improves accuracy and speed of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of liver steatosis. Further studies should evaluate the routine use of this technique in the management of liver steatosis at high cardio-metabolic risk.
