Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) could facilitate an automated and accurate early detection of liver diseases. In this study, we optimized via transfer learning Visual Geometry Group 19 (VGG19), a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture to classify liver ultrasound images into different disease classes. The dataset used to develop the classifier model consists of 1895 ultrasound images generated from a clinical study of Filipino cohorts. Results show that the fine-tuned classifier model achieved an overall testing accuracy of 86.7 ± 1.1% with both cirrhotic and hepatic classes achieving an AUC score of 1.00, while the fatty, normal, and parenchymal classes achieved AUC scores of 0.96, 0.95, and 0.96, respectively. To a certain extent, this study illustrates the applicability of an AI-driven model for an automated disease detection using medical images.
