Clinical Report: Utilizing deep learning and interpretable AI for accurate classification of liver tumors in CT imaging
Overview
This study presents a deep learning framework for non-invasive classification of liver tumors using CT imaging, achieving an accuracy of 96.97% with the EfficientNetV2 model.
Background
Liver cancer is a significant cause of cancer-related mortality, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to challenges in distinguishing tumors from surrounding tissues in CT scans. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as biopsies, are invasive and carry risks, while manual image interpretation is labor-intensive and subject to variability.
Data Highlights
No numerical or trial data provided in the source material.
Key Findings
