CAD improves detection of inconspicuous colonic polyps, adds little to search for flat colorectal lesions
Computer-aided detection systems show high potential for detecting inconspicuous colonic polyps but provide little help in locating nonpolypoid colorectal lesions, according to research presented Wednesday at the RSNA meeting.
Computer-aided detection systems show high potential for detecting inconspicuous colonic polyps but provide little help in locating nonpolypoid colorectal lesions, according to research presented Wednesday at the RSNA meeting.
Results of a study of 411 patients with three of the most conspicuous types of polyps -- near folds, on folds, and on walls -- showed high sensitivity for all three types, regardless of the polyp's conspicuity.
However, another study in the session, comparing the sensitivity of CT colonoscopies read by human readers with computer-aided diagnoses for detecting nonpolypoid (flat) colorectal lesions, showed that human readers had a 67% detection rate, compared to 56% for CAD.
The study noted, however, that using CAD software may help lower human perceptive errors and reduce reporting time.

Is the Kaiser Score More Effective than BI-RADS for Assessing Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and MRI?
October 14th 2024For women with breast-enhanced masses, Kaiser scoring (KS) demonstrated a 20 percent higher AUC than BI-RADS classification for contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and was comparable to KS for breast MRI.
FDA Clears New Features in AI-Powered Mammography Software Suite
October 11th 2024Therapixel’s MammoScreen suite has received 510(k) FDA clearances for a breast density assessment feature and updated software that includes automated pre-reporting, which reportedly expedites reporting of mammography findings.
