Abstract

BACKGROUND: Preoperative estimation of the volume of the left atrium (LA) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) on computed tomography (CT) images is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. We aimed to design a deep learning-based workflow to provide reliable automatic segmentation of the atria, pericardium, and EAT for future applications in the management of AF.
