Chest x-ray benefits from CAD for spotting lung nodules
By Radiology Review
(Radiology Review) Computer-aided detection (CAD) enabled improved detection of lung nodules on chest radiographs, according to Japanese radiologists. Researchers at the University of Occupational and Environmental Health School of Medicine in Iseigaoka evaluated the use of a new commercially available CAD system (EpiSight/XR) that performs automated detection of lung cancer nodules.

Mammography affected by dense breasts in postmenopausal women
By Paula Moyer
HAMBURG, GERMANY - Women in industrialized countries are having fewer children at later ages, and their breasts show it. The loss in breast density that typically occurs after menopause is not occurring as markedly in prior generations, and as a result, their mammograms may miss some tumors, according to a presentation this week at the European Breast Cancer Conference.

Researchers tackle false-positives in CAD
By Brian Casey
Computer-aided detection (CAD) is a promising technology that is changing the way many breast imaging facilities interpret mammograms. But CAD still needs some fine-tuning, in particular to address a high false-positive rate that leaves mammographers relying heavily on biopsy to determine whether CAD-flagged areas really are malignant.

Computer assistance aids mammographers in making more specific diagnosis, avoiding biopsy
By Shalmali Pal
Breast imaging specialists continue to fine-tune the role of computer-aided detection (CAD) and/or classification (CAC). 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.
