    Machine learning (ML) is increasingly utilized in liver computed tomography (CT) imaging, showing high performance in various diagnostic tasks.

  • 2

    A systematic review identified 191 studies focusing on ML applications in liver imaging, highlighting the need for comprehensive evaluation of their clinical applicability.

  • 3

    Liver segmentation was the primary aim in 84 studies, demonstrating significant advancements in ML techniques, particularly deep learning.

  • 4

    The quality of studies improved with external validation methods, yet only 11 studies compared ML results directly with human experts.

  • 5

    Models showed strong performance in segmenting larger lesions, but challenges remain for accurately segmenting lesions smaller than 1 cm.
