Evaluating the Ability of An AI Algorithm to Determine Liver/Spleen Volumes

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for generation of liver and spleen volumes from abdominal CT exams, performed with intravenous contrast unless contraindicated, as part of clinically indicated examinations. The clinical indications include chemotherapy, chronic liver disease, focal liver lesions and undergoing surgical liver resections or minimally invasive procedures involving the liver and spleen. AI algorithm will be used to measure liver and spleen volumes after the clinical CT exam is done to test whether reading radiologists will accept these AI-generated measures, populate them into their report. In addition, the study will assess feedback from reading radiologists. We will quantify their acceptance and/or rejection to determine if our software can be validated in a prospective study.
