One international group, from New York and Israel, has looked at how useful computer software is to mammographers in two different ways: In their first study, they used CAD to compare the shape of individual microcalcifications to clusters as a whole in diagnostic breast imaging. In the second paper, they applied CAC specifically to notoriously ambiguous BI-RADS 3 breast lesions.
