Use of computer-aided detection (CAD) tools in screening mammography: a multidisciplinary investigation

An Overview of Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in Restorative Dentistry

Objective: To review the current knowledge of CAD/CAM in dentistry and its development in the mentioned field. Sources: An electronic search was conducted across Ovid Medline, complemented by manual search across individual databases, such as Cochrane, Medline and ISI Web of Science databases and Google Scholar for literature analysis on the mentioned topic. The studies were reviewed thoroughly...

Computer Aided Detection in Mammography

Breast cancer is a major health concern being responsible for the second most number of deaths caused by cancer in women. Early detection is therefore crucial to help reduce the number of deaths. At the moment, mammography is the best tool available to screen for early breast cancer. However, the detection of lesions in mammograms is a difficult procedure due to several factors the most promine...

Computer-aided detection in screening mammography: variability in cues.

PURPOSE To evaluate the variability of true-positive and false-positive cues by using a commercially available computer-aided detection (CAD) system for analysis of 50 malignancies in a screening population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty breast cancers detected at screening were analyzed by using a commercially available CAD system. Mean patient age was 62.2 years. Each set of mammograms (crani...

Interpretation time of computer-aided detection at screening mammography.

PURPOSE To prospectively determine the interpretation time associated with computer-aided detection (CAD) and to analyze how CAD affected radiologists' decisions and their level of confidence in their interpretations of digital screening mammograms. MATERIALS AND METHODS An Institutional Review Board exemption was obtained, and patient consent was waived in this HIPAA compliant study. The par...
