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.

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.

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.

CAD helps identify high-grade prostate tumors
By Jude Dineley
A fully automated prostate cancer detection system based on multiparametric MRI analysis has shown promise in the detection of high-grade tumors, according to Dutch research. In addition to helping identify cancer locations, a computer-aided detection (CAD) system may help guide biopsy toward the most aggressive parts of tumors.

Decision-support algorithm helps classify breast MR lesions
By Erik L. Ridley
German researchers have developed a decision-support tool that can help radiologists differentiate lesions on breast MRI studies with a high degree of accuracy. It could ultimately be automated or used with existing tools such as computer-aided detection.

CAD can help with initial reads in breast screening
By Rebekah Moan
Using computer-aided detection (CAD) as a preliminary reader in screening mammography may reduce radiologists' workload by nearly half. That's the key finding of a large study conducted by researchers from Jerusalem and presented at this month's European Congress of Radiology.
