Great debates in cardiac computed tomography: OPINION: “Artificial intelligence and the future of cardiovascular CT – Managing expectation and challenging hype”

      Abstract

      This manuscript has been written as a follow-up to the “AI/ML great debate” featured at the 2021 Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) Annual Scientific Meeting. In debate style, we highlighti the need for expectation management of AI/ML, debunking the hype around current AI techniques, and countering the argument that in its current day format AI/ML is the “silver bullet” for the interpretation of daily clinical CCTA practice.
