Abstract
The objective of this study is to compare a graph-matching-based software and a conventional
tool for postprocessing of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in correlation with
the gold standard digital subtraction angiography. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy,
and interobserver agreement increased from 80.3% to 92.9%, from 69.1% to 92.4%, from
73.5% to 92.8%, and from 0.45 to 0.96, respectively, using the graph-matching-based
technique. Graph-matching-based CTA increases sensitivity, specificity, accuracy,
and interobserver agreement in comparison to a conventional bone elimination tool
in the assessment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
