Abstract

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence into the medical field is developing rapidly and has achieved ground-breaking advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and efficacy evaluation of imaging medicine. This article reviews the research advances in artificial intelligence in imaging diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma and its performance in evaluating treatment outcome and predicting prognosis in combination with clinical features and looks forward to how artificial intelligence can be better used in the practice of hepatocellular carcinoma imaging in the era of growing clinical needs and rapid advances in diagnosis and treatment techniques.
