Readers undaunted by VC CAD false positives
By Eric Barnes
Radiologists examining data from virtual colonoscopy studies can easily dismiss increasing numbers of false-positive detections generated by computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, researchers from the U.K. report. But the presence of more false positives makes reading less efficient.

MR stress alone sufficient for myocardial perfusion
By Eric Barnes
Use of an automated postprocessing tool eliminates the need for both a stress and rest exam in myocardial perfusion MRI, according to researchers from Germany. They found that quantitative assessment of stress MRI images alone delivers the same diagnostic performance as semiquantitative evaluation of both stress and rest perfusion exams.

Virtual colonoscopy CAD improves flat-lesion detection
By Eric Barnes
Computer-aided detection (CAD) software can improve the detection of flat lesions at virtual colonoscopy -- as long as the lesions are at least 1 mm high. In a new study from Italy, CAD detected 94% of all flat lesions; however, radiologists dismissed a few of them incorrectly as false positives.
