An automated coronary artery labeling algorithm was developed using a distance transformation approach to delineate the anatomical segments along the centerlines extracted from the CCTA images. A total of 16 segments were successfully identified and labeled. The algorithm\u2019s outcomes were recorded and reviewed by three experts, and the performance of segment detection and labeling was assessed. Additionally, the level of agreement in manually labeled segments between two experts was quantified.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>When comparing the labels generated by the experts with those produced by the algorithm, it was necessary to modify or eliminate 117 labels (5.4%) out of 2180 segments assigned by the algorithm. The overall accuracy for label presence was 96.2%, with an average overlap of 94.0% between the expert reference and algorithm-generated labels. Furthermore, the average agreement rate between the two experts stood at 95.0%.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Based on the labels of the clinical experts, the proposed deep learning algorithm exhibits high accuracy for automatic labeling.
