Structured PICO

Does a deep learning-based CTA pipeline provide accurate, reproducible, and efficient quantification of left atrial metrics compared to expert manual measurements?

Population

407 patients undergoing computed tomography angiography (CTA) for left atrial analysis (divided into training n=270, validation n=87, and clinical evaluation n=50 cohorts)

Intervention

Deep learning-based CTA pipeline (MedNeXt-based model and geometry-driven framework) for automated quantification of eight clinically relevant left atrial metrics

Comparator

Expert manual measurements and annotations

Outcome

Agreement between automated and expert measurements for LA volume and diameters (AP/ML/SI) using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman analysissurrogate

A deep learning pipeline for left atrial CTA analysis provides expert-level accuracy while reducing analysis time by approximately 92%, offering a highly efficient tool for pre-procedural planning.

Limitations

Pending prospective validation of procedural impact
