Diagnostic Accuracy and Generalizability of a Deep Learning-Based Fully Automated Algorithm for Coronary Artery Stenosis Detection on CCTA: A Multi-Centre Registry Study

Aims: In this retrospective, multi-center study, we aimed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy and generalizability of an established deep learning (DL)-based fully automated algorithm in detecting coronary stenosis on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).Methods and results: A total of 52...

In the vessel-based evaluation, the DL algorithm had a higher sensitivity (65.7%) and negative predictive value (NPV) (78.8%) and a significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) (0.83, p < 0.001). In the patient-based evaluation, the DL algorithm achieved a higher sensitivity (90.0%), NPV (52.2%) and AUC (0.81).

The AUCs of the DL algorithm in the aforementioned subgroups ranged from 0.79 to 0.86 and from 0.75 to 0.93 in the vessel-based and patient-based evaluations, both without significant group differences (p > 0.05).
