AI-CARE: Artificial Intelligence for Cardiovascular Analysis and Risk Evaluation

Summary

This study will test how well an artificial intelligence (AI) software called Aorta AIM measures the size of the aorta (the body's main blood vessel) from CT scans. The aorta can become enlarged over time, which may lead to serious health problems. Doctors need to measure the aorta accurately to monitor patients and decide on treatment. Currently, doctors measure the aorta manually on CT scans, which takes time and can vary between different doctors. Aorta AIM is designed to measure the aorta automatically and consistently. In this study, researchers will compare Aorta AIM's measurements to those made by experienced radiologists or cardiologists (doctors who specialize in reading medical images). The study will use CT scans that have already been taken as part of routine medical care - no additional scans or procedures are needed. The study will include approximately 250 participants across multiple hospitals in Brazil and the United States. Participants will be adults who have had a chest or abdominal CT scan that shows their aorta. The main goals are to: * Check if Aorta AIM measures the aorta as accurately as radiologists * See if Aorta AIM can help doctors work more efficiently * Evaluate if the software works well in different hospital settings and with different types of patients This research may help improve how doctors monitor aortic disease and make treatment decisions in the future. There are no risks to participants since the study only uses existing medical images.
