Fully automated guideline-compliant diameter measurements of the thoracic aorta on ECG-gated CT angiography using deep learning

Abstract

The DL-algorithm provided coherent results to radiologists at almost 90% of measurement locations, while the majority of discrepent cases were located at the aortic root. In summary, the DL-algorithm assisted radiologists in performing AHA-compliant measurements by saving 50% of time per case.
