Especially in the field of abdominal MRI diagnostics, there are numerous opportunities to use AI applications to provide efficient, objective, and standardized image acquisition and diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This review summarizes the current state of research and clinical application of AI in abdominal MRI diagnostics with the help of a literature search via PubMed. The focus is on interpretive areas of application such as automatic segmentation of abdominal organs, classification of pathologies, and quantitative analysis of a wide range of abdominal diseases. In addition, the technical requirements, challenges and limitations as well as ethical aspects are systematically examined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>AI-based systems show promising preclinical results, for example, in image reconstruction, segmentation, detection and characterization of lesions, as well as in the classification, for example, of PSC-typical bile duct changes based on MRCP. Interestingly, however, compared to other organ-specific applications in radiology, there are only a few clinically usable tools in abdominal imaging. In addition, there are still major challenges due to the often very heterogeneous data quality, the availability of carefully annotated image data, and legal and ethical safeguards. However, the issues of cost structure and profitability, as well as the remuneration of AI-based applications, also play a significant role and need to be clarified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Despite the great potential and promising preclinical work, the integration of AI systems in abdominal MRI is not yet established in everyday clinical practice. Successful clinical implementation requires standardized workflows, transparent model architecture, legally compliant framework conditions, clear reimbursement guidelines, and the active involvement of radiological expertise. In the future, multimodal, predictive systems with the integration of supplementary clinical data and the ethically reflected design of AI-supported decision-making processes will become increasingly important.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2704-7577","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,13]],"date-time":"2025-10-13T22:53:29Z","timestamp":1760396009000},"page":"447-456","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Artificial
