  • Patent number: 12236584
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating opportunistic screening for cardiomegaly includes obtaining a set of computed tomography (CT) images. The set of CT images captures at least a portion of a heart of a patient, and the set of CT images is captured for a purpose independent of assessing cardiomegaly. The method further includes using the set of CT images as an input to an artificial intelligence (AI) module configured to determine a heart measurement based on CT image set input. The method also includes obtaining heart measurement output generated by the AI module and, based on the heart measurement output, classifying the patient into one of a plurality of risk levels for cardiomegaly. The classification is operable to trigger additional action based on the corresponding risk level for the patient.
