Abstract
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence, particularly the deep learning (DL) model, can provide reliable results for automated cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) measurement on chest X-ray (CXR) images. In everyday clinical use, however, this technology is usually implemented in a non-automated (AI-assisted) capacity because it still requires approval from radiologists. We investigated the performance and efficiency of our recently proposed models for the AI-assisted method intended for clinical practice.
