Background & AimsThe increasing global prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) creates an urgent need for objective methods of histopathological assessment. Conventional histological approaches are time-consuming and rely on interpreters experience. Therefore, the results obtained may suffer from high variability and only offer coarse categorisation. In this study, we propose a fully automate...
