Short-term feedback fails to increase chest CAD effectiveness

By Erik L. Ridley

Providing readers with individual feedback on their performance after using chest radiography computer-aided detection (CAD) software does not yield an improved ability to differentiate CAD candidates for pulmonary nodules, Dutch researchers have found.

CAD could work as second reader, Dutch researchers say

By Rebekah Moan

Dutch researchers determined that a computer-aided detection (CAD) software they developed could be used as a second reader in breast cancer screening, with the CAD algorithm producing diagnostic performance comparable to that of residents, with low false-positive rates.

CARS: iPads equal to workstations for 2D lung nodule detection

By Frances Rylands-Monk

Research from Italy shows 2D visualization of CT and MRI images on the iPad 2 can allow detection of pulmonary nodules as small as 2 mm. Attendees at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) congress learned that across different CT exams no such lesion was missed on the iPad 2 compared with conventional workstations.

Cost-effectiveness doubts remain over CT colonography

By Eric Barnes

The sensitivity and patient acceptability of CT colonography suggest it's a useful examination for colorectal cancer, but whether screening with the technique is cost-effective will depend on its efficiency in detecting extracolonic findings and on how population-based screening plays out, according to Dutch and U.K. experts.
