Core Tip

Core Tip: In recent times, artificial intelligence has played an increasing role in Gastroenterology. There have been numerous studies that show the potential of this technology in clinical practice. Despite this, evidence of the application of these systems in the investigation and treatment of biliary diseases is still scarce. The complexity and challenge that may underlie these processes make this symbiosis very promising. We reviewed the state of the art regarding the application of artificial intelligence in biliary pathology.
