Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Focal liver lesions (FLLs) are defined as abnormal solid or liquid masses differentiated from normal liver, frequently being clinically asymptomatic. The aim of this systematic review is to provide a comprehensive overview of current artificial intelligence (AI) applications, deep learning systems and convolutional neural networks, capable of performing a completely automated diagnosis of FLLs.
