Researchers in Canada evaluated CAD software for nodule detection in a lung cancer screening setting, while researchers in Italy found that CAD improved radiologists' performance in detecting lung nodules on multidetector-row (MDCT) exams.February 4, 2007BreastMammography CAD beats double reading in Norwegian studyComputer-aided detection (CAD) technology may improve the breast cancer detection rate for full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and film-screen mammography exams in facilities employing double reading, according to a new study by researchers in Norway.February 1, 2007AIAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderJanuary 30, 2007PACS/VNATesting procedure improves usability of DICOM CDsDICOM CDs are commonly used today to disseminate patient images and information, but many of them suffer from deficiencies that can hinder image viewing and integration into PACS networks. To help deal with the problem, the German Roentgen Society (DRG) initiated a quality assurance initiative designed to improve the quality of DICOM CDs.January 21, 2007PACS/VNAAuntMinnie.com PACS InsiderJanuary 16, 2007CTCAD turns in mixed performance for pulmonary embolismWhile computer-aided detection (CAD) technology shows promise for assisting radiologists in detecting pulmonary embolism (PE), four recent studies showed a wide range of sensitivity for various iterations of the technology. Experiences ranged from CAD systems that were user-friendly, but plagued by too many false negatives, to systems that offered improved accuracy.January 15, 2007Previous PagePage 300 of 388Next PageTop StoriesCTThoracic radiologists publish post-COVID CT imaging recommendationsA group of thoracic radiologists has published a consensus statement on best practices in CT imaging of post-COVID patients.InterventionalGAE further validated for patients with knee osteoarthritisMRIMRI shows acupuncture's promise for treating concussion symptomsDigital X-RayDo courts recognize the limitations of chest x-ray for lung cancer?Sponsor ContentWhen time is of the essence
