This single-centre retrospective study aimed to evaluate a deep learning (DL) algorithm for detecting vessel steno-occlusions in peripheral arterial disease patients (PAD). The authors’ findings suggest that the proposed DL model is promising and an effective tool to assist in the detection of arterial steno-occlusions in PAD patients.
Key points:
- This study focused on the application of DL for arterial steno-occlusion detection in lower extremities on MRA.
- A previously developed DL model was tested for accuracy and inter-reader agreement.
- While the model showed promising results, it does not yet replace human expertise in detecting arterial steno-occlusion on MRA.
