AI-Derived Left Ventricular Mass From Noncontrast Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT): Correlation With Contrast CT Angiography and CMR

JACC AdvPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

The AI-based automated estimation of LV mass from noncontrast CT demonstrated excellent correlations and minimal biases when compared to contrast CTA and CMR.
