From the Department of Radiology, University Hospital, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany (J.Rueckel, C.S., B.F.H., J.Ricke, J.Rudolph, B.O.S.); Institute of Neuroradiology, University Hospital, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany (J.Rueckel, T.L.); and XP Technology and Innovation, Siemens Healthcare GmbH, Forchheim, Germany (C.H., G.B.).

Received for publication June 7, 2023; and accepted for publication, after revision, July 20, 2023.

J.Rudolph and B.O.S. shared last authorship (contributed equally).

Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: The research was supported by an institutional research grant (see funding below). J. Rueckel and B.O.S received financial compensation for speaker's activities by Siemens Healthineers (lectures at conferences not related to this research project). C.H. and G.B. received financial compensation by Siemens Healthineers (employees).

Authors' contributions: J. Rueckel established the study cohort, radiologically annotated the cohort together with C.S., assisted with the results analysis, and wrote the article together with C.H. (technical aspects). J. Rudolph assisted with writing the article. C.H. developed and provided the annotation software tool and the algorithm prototype and graphically illustrated/analyzed the results. C.S. radiologically annotated the image data together with J. Rueckel. B.O.S. supervised the associated research cooperation. All co-authors critically reviewed the article.

Funding: Department of Radiology, University Hospital, LMU Munich received funding (research cooperation) from Siemens Healthineers.

Disclosures: The mentioned artificial intelligence prototype algorithm is not yet commercially available, future availability cannot be guaranteed.
