Abstract:
Hepatic fibrosis is a pathophysiological process. Any liver damage can cause liver fibrosis in the process of liver repair and healing, but severe liver fibrosis will lead to cirrhosis, which leads to fatal complications such as liver cancer. Early detection of liver fibrosis is particularly important. With the development of medical image analysis technology, combined with statistical machine learning, especially deep learning, ultrasound-based computer-aided diagnosis of liver fibrosis has made great progress, which were reviewed in this article.
