FFDM and CAD find smaller breast tumors
By Erik L. Ridley
Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) can facilitate increased detection of smaller tumors compared to conventional mammography. But adding computer-aided detection (CAD) technology to FFDM can yield even better results, according to researchers at the Hospital Virgen de la Salud in Toledo, Spain.

New VC CAD algorithm reveals submucosal colon cancers
By Eric Barnes
A new computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm goes beyond flat-polyp detection to find submucosally invading colorectal cancers with virtual colonoscopy. Researchers say the software offers an important alternative to traditional CAD feature classification that could improve the sensitivity of all VC studies.

VC CAD aids experts in detecting intermediate polyps
By Eric Barnes
Computer-aided detection (CAD) can improve the performance of experienced radiologists in detecting intermediate-sized (6- to 9-mm) polyps, but it doesn't help find larger lesions, said researchers from Italy in results presented at the RSNA meeting earlier this month.

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.
