New research on Artificial Intelligence is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Guangzhou, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Currently, the diagnostic testing for the primary origin of liver metastases (LMs) can be laborious, complicating clinical decision-making. Directly classifying the primary origin of LMs at computed tomography (CT) images has proven to be challenging, despite its potential to streamline the entire diagnostic workflow." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Southern Medical University, "We developed ALMSS, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based LMs screening system, to provide automated liver contrast-enhanced CT analysis for distinguishing LMs from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), as well as subtyping primary origin of LMs as six organ systems. We processed a CECT dataset between January 1, 2013 and June 30, 2022 (n = 3105:840 HCC, 354 ICC, and 1911 LMs) for training and internally testing ALMSS, and two additional cohorts (n = 622) for external validation of its diagnostic performance. The performance of radiologists with and without the assistance of ALMSS in diagnosing and subtyping LMs was assessed. ALMSS achieved average area under the curve (AUC) of 0.917 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.899-0.931) and 0.923 (95% [CI]: 0.905-0.937) for differentiating LMs, HCC and ICC on both the internal testing set and external testing set, outperformed that of two radiologists. Moreover, ALMSS yielded average AUC of 0.815 (95% [CI]: 0.794-0.836) and 0.818 (95% [CI]: 0.790-0.842) for predicting six primary origins on both two testing sets. Interestingly, ALMSS assigned origin diagnoses for LMs with pathological phenotypes beyond the training categories with average AUCof 0.761 (95% [CI]: 0.657-0.842), which verify the model's diagnostic expandability. Our study establishedan AI-based diagnostic system that effectively identifies and characterizes LMs directly from multiphasicCT images."
