It utilised a private dataset, which was acquired and annotated by the authors through their institution and subsequently validated by two blinded readers.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A single-centre retrospective study analysed 105 magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images using an EfficientNet B0 DL model. Initially, inter-reader variability was assessed using the complete dataset. For a subset of these images (29 from the left side and 35 from the right side) where digital subtraction angiography (DSA) data was available as the ground truth, the model\u2019s accuracy and the area under the curve at receiver operating characteristics analysis (ROC-AUC) were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 105 patient examinations (mean age, 75 years \u00b112 [mean \u00b1 standard deviation], 61 men) were evaluated. Radiologist-DL model agreement had a quadratic weighted Cohen \u03ba \u2265 0.72 (left side) and \u2265 0.66 (right side). Radiologist inter-reader agreement was \u2265 0.90 (left side) and \u2265 0.87 (right side). The DL model achieved a 0.897 accuracy and a 0.913 ROC-AUC (left side) and 0.743 and 0.830 (right side). Radiologists achieved 0.931 and 0.862 accuracies, with 0.930 and 0.861 ROC-AUCs (left side), and 0.800 and 0.799 accuracies, with 0.771 ROC-AUCs (right side).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The DL model provided valid results in identifying arterial steno-occlusion in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries on MRA among PAD patients.
