Core Tip Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown increasing potential in enhancing liver imaging workflows. This review focused on the integration of AI into contrast-enhanced ultrasound for liver lesion assessment with an emphasis on automating the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System classification. We summarized recent deep learning architectures, radiomics applications, and clinical impact studies, highlighting both diagnostic performance and technical challenges. The review provided a forward-looking perspective on how contrast-enhanced ultrasound-based AI models may standardize interpretation, support real-time decision-making, and transform hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis in clinical practice.
