Dear Advanced Visualization Insider,
The use of computer-aided detection (CAD) technology adds value in detecting lung nodules, according to a pair of presentations at the 2007 RSNA meeting in Chicago.
In research from the University of Chicago, CAD produced 82% sensitivity with 2.7 false positives per scan, while a study from the University of Michigan found that CAD improved the performance of radiologists in detecting lung nodules.
Our coverage of the RSNA talks is the subject of this month's Insider Exclusive article. You have access to the story before it is published for the rest of our AuntMinnie.com members. To learn more, click here.
Feel free to also check out other current RSNA coverage in our Advanced Visualization community, including articles on the benefits of CAD for characterizing lung nodules, the ability of a computer-aided dental x-ray system to quickly identify victims of mass disasters, and the promise of a "patch view" technique for improving the efficiency of virtual colonoscopy CAD.
Stay tuned for more advanced visualization coverage from the meeting, and happy holidays from all of us at AuntMinnie.com!
