[Epicardial fat Tissue Volumetry: Comparison of Semi-Automatic Measurement and the Machine Learning Algorithm].

Aim        To compare assessments of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volumes obtained with a semi-automatic, physician-performed analysis and an automatic analysis using a machine-learning algorithm by data of low-dose (LDCT) and standard computed tomography (CT) of chest organs.Material and methods        This analytical, retrospective, transversal study randomly included 100 patients from a database of a united radiological informational service (URIS). The patients underwent LDCT as a part of the project "Low-dose chest computed tomography as a screening method for detection of lung cancer and other diseases of chest organs" (n=50) and chest CT according to a standard protocol (n=50) in outpatient clinics of Moscow.
