Abstract To investigate the performance of a deep learning-based algorithm for fully automated quantification of left ventricular (LV) volumes and function in cardiac MRI. We retrospectively analysed MR examinations of 50 patients (74% men, median age 57 years). The most common indications were known or suspected ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies or myocarditis. Fully automated analysis of LV volumes and function was performed using a deep learning-based algorithm. The analysis was subsequently corrected by a senior cardiovascular radiologist. Manual volumetric analysis was performed by two radiology trainees. Volumetric results were compared using Bland–Altman statistics and intra-class correlation coefficient. The frequency of clinically relevant differences was analysed using re-classification rates. The fully automated volumetric analysis was completed in a median of 8 s. With expert review and corrections, the analysis required a median of 110 s. Median time required for manual analysis was 3.5 min for a cardiovascular imaging fellow and 9 min for a radiology resident (p
