Assessing the role of an artificial intelligence assessment tool for thoracic aorta diameter on routine chest CT.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the diagnostic accuracy and clinical impact of automated artificial intelligence (AI) measurement of thoracic aorta diameter on routine chest CT.

Methods

A single-centre retrospective study involving three cohorts. 210 consecutive ECG-gated CT aorta scans (mean age 75 ± 13) underwent automated analysis (AI-Rad Companion Chest CT, Siemens) and were compared to a reference standard of specialist cardiothoracic radiologists for accuracy measuring aortic diameter. A repeated measures analysis tested reporting consistency in a second cohort (29 patients, mean age 61 ± 17) of immediate sequential pre-contrast and contrast CT aorta acquisitions. Potential clinical impact was assessed in a third cohort of 197 routine CT chests (mean age 66 ± 15) to document poten
