Automatic Extraction of Comprehensive Cardiac CT Angiography Parameters: A Novel Program with High Accuracy and Efficiency

We tested the accuracy and efficiency of a novel automated program capable of extracting 15 cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) parameters from clinical CTA reports. Five hundred cardiac CTA reports were retrospectively collected and processed. All reports were pre-populated with a structured template per guideline. The program extracted 15 parameters with high accuracy (97.3 %) and efficiency (84 s). This program may be used at other institutions with similar accuracy if its report format follows the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) guideline recommendation.
