A commercially available AI tool (AI-Rad Companion, Siemens Healthineers) automatically quantified TCVAI, indexed to body surface area (TCVAI\/BSA). Echocardiography reports were reviewed for chamber dilation and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), collectively defined as cardiomegaly. Associations between TCVAI\/BSA and echocardiographic findings were assessed using correlation, ordinal regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Interscan repeatability was evaluated in 248 patients with 544 repeat CT examinations. Prespecified sex-specific thresholds were tested in a temporally independent validation cohort of 50 patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Median TCVAI was higher in patients with cardiomegaly than those without (1061.9 vs 798.4 mL; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). TCVAI\/BSA was associated with chamber dilation and LVH severity on univariate analysis and remained associated in multivariable ordinal models, except for right ventricular dilation. Discriminatory performance was fair to good, with area under the curve (AUC) 0.81 (95% CI, 0.75-0.87) in men and 0.77 (95% CI, 0.69-0.85) in women. Interscan repeatability was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]: 0.93). In independent validation, performance ranged from sensitivity 89.3%\/specificity 27.3% at a high-sensitivity threshold to sensitivity 28.6%\/specificity 100% at a high-specificity threshold.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>AI-derived cardiac volume from
