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.

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.
