Artificial intelligence for detection and characterization of focal hepatic lesions: a review.

Focal liver lesions (FLL) are common incidental findings in abdominal imaging. While the majority of FLLs are benign and asymptomatic, some can be malignant or pre-malignant, and need accurate detection and classification. Current imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic res...

      ab: Focal liver lesions (FLL) are common incidental findings in abdominal imaging. While the majority of FLLs are benign and asymptomatic, some can be malignant or pre-malignant, and need accurate detection and classification. Current imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), play a crucial role in assessing these lesions. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning (DL), offers potential solutions by analyzing large data to identify patterns and extract clinical features that aid in the early detection and classification of FLLs. This manuscript reviews the diagnostic capacity of AI-based algorithms in processing CT and MRIs to detect benign and malignant FLLs, with an emphasis in the characterization and classification of these lesions and focusing on differentiating benign from pre-malignant and potentially malignant lesions. A comprehensive literature search from January 2010 to April 2024 identified 45 relevant studies. The majority of AI systems employed convolutional neural networks (CNNs), with expert radiologists providing reference standards through manual lesion delineation, and histology as the gold standard. The studies reviewed indicate that AI-based algorithms demonstrate high accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUCs in detecting and characterizing FLLs. These algorithms excel in differentiating between benign and malignant lesions, optimizing diagnostic protocols, and reducing the needs of invasive procedures. Future research should concentrate on the expansion of data sets, the improvement of model explainability, and the validation of AI tools across a range of clinical setting to ensure the applicability and reliability of such tools.
