CAD provides human readers withlocation (and characterization) of potential lesions
final diagnostic decision is made by the reader
Computer-Aided Diagnosis
Look here !!!
Improve diagnostic performanceincrease sensitivity and specificity
decrease inter- and intra-reader variability
Improve productivityread more cases without significantly increasing interpretation time
Improve patient managementprovide patients with exams options
provide physicians with decision support
