OBJECTIVE: We aimed to develop and test a deep learning algorithm (DLA) for fully automated measurement of the volume and signal intensity (SI) of the liver and spleen using gadoxetic acid-enhanced hepatobiliary phase (HBP)-magnetic resonance imaging...
BACKGROUND: Microvascular invasion (MVI) is essential for the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, MVI is hard to evaluate in patients without sufficient peri-tumoral tissue samples, which account for over a half of HCC patients.

OBJECTIVE: It aimed to explore the diagnostic efficacy of multimodal ultrasound images based on mask region with convolutional neural network (M-RCNN) segmentation algorithm for small liver cancer and analyze the expression of zeste gene enhancer hom...
To improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of severe patients with advanced liver cancer and enhance the effect of chemotherapy treatment, the U-Net model was optimized by introducing the batch normalization (BN) layer and the dropout layer, and t...
BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography (US) is widely used for the diagnosis of liver tumors. However, the accuracy of the diagnosis largely depends on the visual perception of humans. Hence, we aimed to construct artificial intelligence (AI) models for the dia...
BACKGROUND: The liver is one of the most significant and most essential organs in the human body. It is divided into two granular lobes, one on the right and one on the left, connected by a bile duct. The liver is essential in the removal of waste pr...
BACKGROUND: In infrared reflective (IR) marker-based hybrid real-time tumor tracking (RTTT), the internal target position is predicted with the positions of IR markers attached on the patient's body surface using a prediction model. In this work, we ...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatocellular nodular lesions (HNLs) constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders. Differential diagnosis among these lesions, especially high-grade dysplastic nodules (HGDNs) and well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (WD-...
