Computer-Aided Diagnosis
CAD provides human readers with
location (and characterization) of potential lesions
final diagnostic decision is made by the reader
Look here !
Expected Benefits of CAD
Improve diagnostic performance
increase sensitivity and specificity
decrease inter- and intra-reader variability
Improve productivity
read more cases without significantly increasing
interpretation time
Improve patient management
provide patients with exams options
provide physicians with decision support
Visualization

High-throughput Medicine with CAD
Feedback diagnostic results while a patient is
on the scanner table.
Determine whether the patient requires further
scanning or to be sent to the OC.
