OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility and reliability of the use of artificial intelligence post-processing to calculate the RV:LV diameter ratio on computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and to investigate its prognostic value in patients with acute PE.
METHODS: Single-centre, retrospective study of 101 consecutive patients with CTPA-proven acute PE. RV and LV volumes were segmented on 1-mm contrast-enhanced axial slices and maximal ventricular diameters were derived for RV:LV ratio using automated post-processing software (IMBIO LLC, USA) and compared to manual analysis in two observers, via intraclass coefficient correlation analysis. Each CTPA report was analysed for mention of the RV:LV ratio and compared to the automated RV:LV ratio. Thirty-day all-cause mortality post-CTPA was recorded.
RESULTS: Automated RV:LV analysis was feasible in 87% (n = 88). RV:LV ratios ranged from 0.67 to 2.43, with 64% (n = 65) > 1.0. There was very strong agreement between manual and automated RV:LV ratios (ICC = 0.83, 0.77-0.88). The use of automated analysis led to a change in risk stratification in 45% of patients (n = 40). The AUC of the automated measurement for the prediction of all-cause 30-day mortality was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.62-0.99).
CONCLUSION: The RV:LV ratio on CTPA can be reliably measured automatically in the majority of real-world cases of acute PE, with perfect reproducibility. The routine use of this automated analysis in clinical practice would add important prognostic information in patients with acute PE.
KEY POINTS: • Automated calculation of the right ventricle to left ventricle ratio was feasible in the majority of patients and demonstrated perfect intraobserver variability. • Automated analysis would have added important prognostic information and altered risk stratification in the majority of patients. • The optimal cut-off value for the automated right ventricle to left ventricle ratio was 1.18, with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 54% for the prediction of 30-day mortality.
