    CTEPH is caused by persistent obstruction of pulmonary arteries, leading to progressive pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure.

  • 2

    CTPA is crucial for assessing CTEPH, providing insights into pulmonary artery structure and perfusion changes.

  • 3

    Traditional analysis of mosaic perfusion on CTPA is subjective and varies among experts, lacking an automated quantification method.

  • 4

    This study developed an automated method to quantify perfusion changes on CTPA, correlating findings with clinical parameters.

  • 5

    The automated analysis utilizes a three-compartment model based on attenuation to classify lung perfusion and assess spatial heterogeneity.
