Liver disease affects an estimated 4.5 million people in the U.S. and often shows no symptoms. Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm called EchoNet-Liver to facilitate faster and easier diagnosis of liver disease by analyzing videos from echocardiograms, which are standard tests for heart disease. This deep-learning model can identify high-quality liver […]
