Study: CAD can add value to lung cancer screening
By Erik L. Ridley
Computer-aided detection (CAD) software can add additional benefits -- without too many false positives -- over double reading of low-dose chest CT examinations in a lung cancer screening environment, researchers from the Netherlands have found in research published in the October issue of European Radiology.

CAD must not replace radiologists, warn researchers
By Rebekah Moan
Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems should not replace radiologists or be used for final interpretation, despite its growing use as a second reader to reduce the number of false-negative mammograms, researchers from the Paris region have advocated in the European Journal of Radiology.

CAD-first scheme speeds virtual colonoscopy reads
By Eric Barnes
Does virtual colonoscopy need the kind of speed that only computer-aided detection (CAD) can provide? An advanced reading technique cut interpretation times to a minimum by using CAD first for polyp detection -- followed by the radiologist, who looked only at CAD results, according to a new study from Europe and the U.S. in European Radiology.

CAD tool simplifies lesion tracking
By Cynthia E. Keen
Prototype software that automates the identification, measurement, and tracking of cancerous lesions has shown its potential to make interpretation of CT scans faster and less tedious for radiologists, according to study results published online on 29 June in European Radiology.

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.

Bone suppression tool helps find pneumonia in chest x-rays
By Erik L. Ridley
Thanks to its ability to improve the conspicuity of focal lung disease, bone suppression image processing can significantly improve radiologists' accuracy in identifying focal pneumonia on chest radiographs, according to new research published online on 5 July by European Radiology.

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.

Riverain promotes ESTI studies
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
Two new studies being presented at this weekend's 2012 European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) meeting in London show how bone suppression software by Riverain Technologies significantly improves radiologists' ability to detect potentially cancerous lung nodules in x-ray images, the company said in a statement.

Fibroglandular tissue hampers mammo CAD specificity
By Erik L. Ridley
While breast density and volume does not affect false-positive rates for computer-aided detection (CAD) software, CAD specificity is affected by breast fibroglandular tissue volume, according to research published online in the European Journal of Radiology.
