CAD for breast MRI improves sensitivity; accuracy not so much May 24, 2013 -- Computer-aided detection (CAD) technology improves sensitivity in breast MRI for both experienced and novice readers, but it does not significantly advance overall accuracy, according to a study published in the June issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
CAD helps detect and treat skull fusion in infants May 20, 2013 -- Computer-aided detection (CAD) technology can be an invaluable tool for quantitative diagnosis and treatment planning of craniosynostosis, or premature fusion of skull sutures in infants, researchers from Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC, have found.
4D musculoskeletal CT offers window into joint disorders May 17, 2013 -- There's still a lot to learn about how bones interact in joints during movement, but 4D musculoskeletal CT can help close that knowledge gap, paving the way for new understanding of joint disorders and how to treat them, according to researchers from Monash Health Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
Volumetric MR images boost cervical cancer treatment planning May 13, 2013 -- Three-dimensional volumetric MR images of cervical disease yield a bounty of critical information, enabling precise planning of brachytherapy for residual tumors, according to researchers from St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix.
CAD, bone suppression find more lung nodules on chest x-ray May 7, 2013 -- At the cost of more false positives, the combination of computer-aided detection (CAD) and electronic bone suppression can help radiologists improve detection rates for pulmonary nodules on chest radiographs, according to research published in the May issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
Curved MIPs aid detection of thin intracranial hematomas May 1, 2013 -- An advanced visualization technique utilizing curved maximum intensity projections (MIPs) that parallel the inner table of the skull may be able to significantly improve sensitivity for detecting thin epidural and subdural hematomas, according to an Austrian article published in Radiology.
Radiologists prefer CAD with fewer clicks April 24, 2013 -- Radiologists prefer computer-aided detection (CAD) software that gives them necessary information with the fewest clicks possible and is closely integrated with PACS, rather than applications that require multiple manual steps to interrogate data, according to a team of German researchers.
Breast CAD's effectiveness questioned again in new study April 15, 2013 -- Dr. Joshua Fenton of the University of California, Davis has emerged as one of the most prominent skeptics of computer-aided detection (CAD) technology for breast screening. Fenton is again questioning CAD's effectiveness in a new study published online April 15 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Advanced CT reconstruction improves cardiac plaque assessment April 12, 2013 -- Automated plaque assessment in coronary CT angiography is a promising new way to evaluate a patient's plaque burden quickly and noninvasively -- but it won't be quick or accurate without the use of advanced iterative reconstruction, according to researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
CT postprocessing can aid evaluation of pediatric airways April 1, 2013 -- Because it's noninvasive and doesn't require anesthesia, CT postprocessing offers significant advantages over the gold standard of bronchoscopy for evaluating pediatric airways. Yet there are even more benefits, according to an article published recently in Pediatric Radiology.
May 24, 2013 -- Computer-aided detection (CAD) technology improves sensitivity in breast MRI for both experienced and novice readers, but it does not significantly advance overall accuracy, according to a study published in the June issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
