New Liver Fibrosis Findings from Mayo Clinic Discussed (Liver Fibrosis Classification From Ultrasound Using Machine Learning: a Systematic Literature Review).

A report from Mayo Clinic discusses the use of machine learning and ultrasound for the classification of liver fibrosis. The study found that ultrasound is gaining popularity as a non-invasive alternative to liver biopsy due to its wider availability and cost-effectiveness. The researchers reviewed 17 studies that used machine learning models to determine fibrosis staging, but noted limited external comparisons and prospective clinical trials. They suggest the need for a standard protocol to improve study design and applicability of these automated solutions. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in Abdominal Radiology.
