However, the invasive and costly nature of RHC limits its wide‐ spread application in daily practice. Purpose: To develop a fully automatic framework for PAP as‐ sessment via machine learning based on computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) . Materials and Methods: A machine learning model was developed to automatically extract mor‐ phological features of pulmonary artery and the heart on CTPA cases collected between June 2017 and July 2021 based on a single center experience. Patients with PH received CTPA and RHC ex‐ aminations within 1 week. The eight substructures of pulmonary artery and heart were automati‐ cally segmented through our proposed segmentation framework. Eighty percent of patients were used for the training data set and twenty percent for the independent testing data set. PAP param‐ eters, including mPAP, sPAP, dPAP, and TPR, were defined as ground‐truth. A regression model was built to predict PAP parameters and a classification model to separate patients through mPAP and sPAP with cut‐off values of 40 mm Hg and 55 mm Hg in PH patients, respectively. The perfor‐ mances of the regression model and the classification model were evaluated by analyzing the intra‐ class correlation coefficient (ICC) and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: Study participants included 55 patients with PH (men 13; age 47.75 ± 14.87 years) . The average dice score for segmentation increased from 87.3% ± 2.9 to 88.2% ± 2.9 through proposed segmentation framework. After features extraction, some of the AI automatic extractions (AAd, RVd, LAd, and RPAd) achieved good consistency with the manual measurements. The differences between them were not statistically significant (t = 1.222, p = 0.227;","cbCaivij9AhTxmNd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivij9AhTxmNd","pdf",2369648,2,1,19,"English","en",105,"#
