Abstract :
The most common mesenchymal tumors are gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), which have malignant potential and can
occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal system. Imaging methods are important and indispensable of GISTs in diagnosis, risk
staging, therapy, and follow-up. The recommended imaging method for staging and follow-up is computed tomography (CT)
according to current guidelines. Artificial intelligence (AI) applies and elaborates theses, procedures, modes, and utilization
systems for simulating, enlarging, and stretching the intellectual capacity of humans. Recently, researchers have done a few studies
to explore AI applications in GIST imaging. This article reviews the present AI studies in GISTs imaging, including preoperative
diagnosis, risk stratification and prediction of prognosis, gene mutation, and targeted therapy response.
