Core Tip Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (PAVFs) are vascular lesions, frequently detected on chest computed tomography. This study demonstrated that an artificial intelligence-based computer-aided detection (CAD) system originally developed for pulmonary nodule detection identified PAVFs with a detection rate of 65% and provided reliable quantitative measurements of lesion length. Although the detection performance was lower than that previously reported for pulmonary nodules, CAD-based analysis showed strong agreement with manual measurements. These findings suggest that lung nodule CAD systems may have broader clinical utility beyond their original purpose, including a potential role as adjunct tools for the opportunistic detection and longitudinal follow-up of PAVFs.
