CAD catches most flat polyps on virtual colonoscopy
By Eric Barnes
Computer-aided detection (CAD) is sensitive for all but the flattest of flat colorectal lesions, even in minimally prepped patients, according to a new study from Italy. Using CAD, radiologists significantly improved their ability to detect the elusive polyps, which can harbor precancerous lesions.

Chest x-ray CAD fails to boost observer performance
By Erik L. Ridley
CHICAGO - Computer-aided detection (CAD) software may not produce significant improvement in detecting suspicious lesions on chest radiographs, but it's not necessarily the technology's fault, according to research presented Wednesday at the 2009 RSNA meeting in Chicago.

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.

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.

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.
