aModels of radiologist identification of small bowel stricture using automatic bowel measurements had an AuROC of 0.857 with an accuracy of 87.6%. Bowel wall thickness was automatically dropped from this model due to co-linearity and no contribution to model fit as a result of maximum bowel diameter dominating model performance.
bModels of radiologists’ identification of a possible stricture suspected, where explicit need for small bowel dilation >30 mm was not required, had an AuROC of 0.917 and accuracy of 84.4%.
