Accurate disease detection by using ultrasound images or other medical imaging modalities depends on the physician\u2019s or doctor\u2019s experience and skill. CAD systems have a critical role in helping experts make accurate and right-sized assessments. There are different types of CAD systems for diagnosing different diseases, and one of the applications is in liver disease diagnosis and detection by using intelligent algorithms to detect any abnormalities. Machine learning and deep learning algorithms and models play also a big role in this area. In this article, we tried to review the techniques which are utilized in different stages of CAD systems and pursue the methods used in preprocessing, extracting, and selecting features and classification. Also, different techniques are used to segment and analyze the liver ultrasound medical images, which is still a challenging approach to how to use these techniques and their technical and clinical effectiveness as a global approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/ida-216379","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,12]],"date-time":"2022-07-12T11:44:11Z","timestamp":1657626251000},"page":"1097-1114","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Diagnosis of liver disease by computer- assisted imaging techniques: A literature review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Behnam Kiani","family":"Kalejahi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saeed","family":"Meshgini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sebelan","family":"Danishvar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering, College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences, Brunel University, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Khorram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Alzahra University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/IDA-216379_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"718","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhep.2018.05.011","article-title":"Burden of liver disease in Europe: Epidemiology and analysis of risk factors to identify prevention policies","volume":"69","author":"Pimpin","year":"2018","journal-title":"Journal of Hepatology"},{"key":"10.3233\/IDA-216379_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhep.2018.03.018","article-title":"EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines: Management of alcohol-related liver disease","volume":"69","author":"Liver","year":"2018","journal-title":"Journal of Hepatology"},{"key":"10.3233\/IDA-216379_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1083","DOI":"10.1109\/TMI.2014.2303821","article-title":"Computer-aided detection of prostate cancer in MRI","volume":"33","author":"Litjens","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging"},{"key":"10.3233\/IDA-216379_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"S.
