Diagnosis of Gallbladder Disease Using Artificial Intelligence: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Abstract Gallbladder (GB) disease is a common pathology that needs correct and early diagnosis for the optimum medical treatment. Early diagnosis is crucial as any delay or misdiagnosis can worsen the patient situation. Incorrect diagnosis could also lead to an escalation in patient symptoms and poorer clinical outcomes. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, ranging from Machine Learning (ML) to Deep Learning (DL) to predict disease progression, identify abnormalities, and estimate mortality rates associated with GB disorders has increased over the past decade. To this end, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the AI approaches used in the diagnosis of GB illnesses. This review compiles and compares relevant papers from the last decade to show how AI might enhance diagnostic precision, speed, and efficiency. Therefore, this survey gives researchers the opportunity to find out both the diagnosis of GB diseases and AI techniques in one place. The maximum accuracy rate by ML was when using SVM with 96.67%, whilst the maximum accuracy rate by DL was by utilising a unique structure of VGG, GoogleNet, ResNet, AlexNet and Inception with 98.77%. This could provide a clear path for further investigations and algorithm’s development to boost diagnostic results to improve the patient’s condition and choose the appropriate treatment.
