Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein facilitate determination of risk of recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after ablation based on fractal features. One example embodiment is configured to generate a binary mask of at least a portion of a CT scan of a heart of a patient with AF; compute one or more radiomic fractal-based features from at least one of the binary mask or the portion of the CT scan; provide the one or more radiomic fractal-based features to a trained machine learning (ML) classifier; and receive a prediction from the trained ML classifier of whether or not the AF will recur after AF ablation, wherein the prediction is based at least in part on the one or more radiomic fractal-based features.
