Abstract

BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA) is crucial for improving patient outcomes, yet remains a significant global challenge. This challenge may be ameliorated through the application of artificial intelligence (AI). Despite the promise of AI in medical diagnostics, its application to multimodal BA data has not yet achieved substantial breakthroughs. This study aims to leverage diverse data sources and formats to develop an intelligent diagnostic system for BA.
