Artificial intelligence in the detection, characterisation and prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite significant advancements in detection and treatment of HCC, its management remains a challenge. Artificial intelligence (AI) has played a role in medicine for several decades, however, clinically applicable AI-driven solutions have only started to emerge, due to gradual improvement in sensitivity and specificity of AI, and implementation of convoluted neural networks. A review of the existing literature has been conducted to determine the role of AI in HCC, and three main domains were identified in the search: detection, characterisation and prediction. Implementation of AI models into detection of HCC has immense potential, as AI excels at analysis and integration of large datasets. The use
