Abstract
Peptic ulcer (PU) is a common and frequently occurring disease. Although PU seriously threatens the lives and health of global residents, the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) have strongly promoted diversification and modernization in the diagnosis and treatment of PU. This minireview elaborates on the research progress of AI in the field of PU, from PU's pathogenic factor Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, to its management and complications (bleeding, obstruction, perforation and canceration). Finally, the challenges and prospects of AI application in PU are prospected and expounded. With the in-depth understanding of modern medical technology, AI remains a promising option in the management of PU patients and plays a more indispensable role. How to realize the robustness, versatility and diversity of multifunctional AI systems in PU and conduct multicenter prospective clinical research as soon as possible are the top priorities in the future.
