Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and its early detection and treatment are crucial for improving morbidity and mortality. Biomarkers have the potential to facilitate the early diagnosis and management of liver cancer, but identifying and implementing effective biomarkers remains a major challenge. In recent years, artificial intelligence has emerged as a promising tool in the cancer sphere, and recent literature suggests that it is very promising in facilitating biomarker use in liver cancer. This review provides an overview of the status of AI-based biomarker research in liver cancer, with a focus on the detection and implementation of biomarkers for risk prediction, diagnosis, staging, prognostication, prediction of treatment response, and recurrence of liver cancers.

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, consisting of a wide spectrum of pathologies, have become a prominent health issue globally. Despite medical imaging playing a crucial role in the clinical workflow of cancers, standard evaluation of different imaging modalities may provide limited information. Accurate tumor detection, characterization, and monitoring remain a challenge. Progress in quantitative imaging analysis techniques resulted in ”radiomics”, a promising methodical tool that helps to personalize diagnosis and treatment optimization. Radiomics, a sub-field of computer vision analysis, is a bourgeoning area of interest, especially in this era of precision medicine. In the field of oncology, radiomics has been described as a tool to aid in the diagnosis, classification, and categorization of malignancies and to predict outcomes using various endpoints. In addition, machine learning is a technique for analyzing and predicting by learning from sample data, finding patterns in it, and applying it to new data. Machine learning has been increasingly applied in this field, where it is being studied in image diagnosis. This review assesses the current landscape of radiomics and methodological processes in GI cancers (including gastric, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, neuroendocrine, GI stromal, and rectal cancers). We explain in a stepwise fashion the process from data acquisition and curation to segmentation and feature extraction. Furthermore, the applications of radiomics for diagnosis, staging, assessment of tumor prognosis and treatment response according to different GI cancer types are explored. Finally, we discussed the existing challenges and limitations of radiomics in abdominal cancers and investigate future opportunities.

Purpose: We review burnout risk factors in interventional radiology (IR) and explore how artificial intelligence (AI) would address burnout from a workplace aspect. Materials and Methods: We performed a literature search on PubMed on risk factors for burnout in interventional radiology and AI tools to address burnout challenges. Results: IR specialists face burnout risk at personal, workplace and system levels. AI could identify burnout using demographic data and free text, alleviate administrative workload, and manage workflow. AI could also enhance procedural efficiency via automated navigation systems, reducing stress from radiation exposure. Future directions include enhanced burnout identification and medical coding for access to longitudinal data. Conclusion: AI may be a solution to addressing specific burnout risk factors in interventional radiology. Level of Evidence: No level of evidence. Review Article. Graphical
