: All imaging data was analysed anonymously and patient information was de-identified prior to this analysis. The anonymized images were saved from the P ACS system by the radiologist who made the image acquisition. Given the archiving of the images for this study was done with an anonymous patient number, the patient could not be identified away from the P ACS system. A prior agreement was made to undertake computational modelling work using totally anonymised images without requiring further specific ethics committee approval for individual patients. Therefore, formal ethical approval was not required for this retrospective study. For this reason, written consent was not obtained from the patient to use the data in this specific study.
