Ignoring breast CAD detections cuts sensitivity

By Eric Barnes

Computer-aided detection (CAD) is effective at finding breast cancers -- including lesions that would have otherwise been missed by experienced radiologists. Unfortunately, CAD's overall benefit is diluted by the downside of radiologists ignoring true-positive CAD marks.

CAD fails to make up for inexperience in reading VC studies

By Erik L. Ridley

Using computer-aided detection (CAD) software with a 3D display technique can increase sensitivity for inexperienced readers of virtual colonoscopy exams, but it fails to narrow the performance gap with experienced interpreters, according to a study published in the October issue of Clinical Radiology.

CAD enhances breast MRI specificity

By Erik L. Ridley

Although breast MRI is highly sensitive for detecting breast cancer, the technique remains plagued by a relatively low level of specificity. But computer-aided detection (CAD) technology can help reduce false-positive findings, according to research published online this month in European Radiology.

Fuzzy 3D ultrasound CAD sharpens breast cancer sensitivity

By Eric Barnes

A new breast ultrasound computer-aided detection (CAD) application uses a fuzzy 3D image processing scheme to deliver high sensitivity to improve the detection of early breast cancers.

Brazilian team marries lung CAD with PACS

By Eric Barnes

Nearly all computer-aided detection (CAD) systems in clinical use today have a major shortcoming: the need to transfer image data to a separate workstation to run CAD software, with CAD data remaining separate from the PACS images radiologists read in their normal workflow. Researchers from São Paulo may have the answer.

FFDM plus CAD beats analog mammography

By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers

Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with computer-aided detection (CAD) found more cancers than analog mammography in a large screening population, according to a study conducted by Dutch researchers.

CARS report: New CAD tool follows lung nodules over time

By Eric Barnes

BERLIN - It's easy to complain about the insanity of tracking lung nodule changes in multiple CT scans over time, but at least one group is doing something about it, according to a presentation at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting.

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.

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.
