Users of smartphones and tablets based on other operating systems currently face a more limited selection, however, according to an article published online in the European Journal of Radiology.January 20, 2013Clinical NewsCADx outperforms radiologists in characterizing liver lesionsGerman researchers have found that a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system can do better than radiologists for characterizing indeterminate liver lesions, but they believe CAD systems should work more like radiologists rather than relying too heavily on image analysis.January 1, 2013Clinical NewsiPad turns in mixed results for chest radiographsThe iPad appears capable of supporting the diagnosis of pneumothorax on chest radiographs, according to an initial evaluation of an iOS-based image viewing app developed by a team from Massachusetts General Hospital. The group also found that its app, at least for now, didn't fare as well in cases with nonpneumothorax findings.December 30, 2012Advanced VisualizationCAD helps detect smaller lesions on CT colonographyAt a cost of just a minute or two of extra interpretation time, computer-aided detection (CAD) software can significantly improve the performance of experienced readers in finding polyps 6 to 9 mm in size on CT colonography studies, according to a study by Italian researchers published online in Radiology.December 13, 2012Artificial IntelligenceAuntMinnieEurope.com Advanced Visualization InsiderDecember 9, 2012Clinical NewsCADx may improve diagnosis of central gland prostate cancerComputer-aided diagnosis (CADx) shows potential as a tool to aid radiologists in the challenging task of finding cancer originating from the prostate's central gland, according to Dutch research presented at the 2012 RSNA meeting in Chicago.December 9, 2012Clinical NewsCAD can boost detection of small invasive breast cancersComputer-aided detection (CAD) technology can yield high sensitivity, albeit with low specificity, for finding very small invasive breast cancers on full-field digital mammography studies, Spanish researchers have found.November 14, 2012Previous PagePage 46 of 58Next PageTop StoriesWomens ImagingHybrid AI reading shows success in breast cancer screeningA Dutch team found that a hybrid reading strategy for screening mammography reduced radiologist workload by 38% without changing recall or cancer detection rates.Medical, Legal, and PracticeCooking robot gets rave reviews in TübingenMRIUltrasound plus MRI helps diagnose pain from rotator cuff tendinopathyMedical, Legal, and PracticePressure grows for more rigorous financial disclosureMRIMRI, CT findings correlate for assessing epicardial fat volume
