Utility of computer -aided detection in the diagnosis of breast carcinoma with mammography / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To determine breast carcinoma detection rate of a new mammographic computer-aided system (CAD) in order to assess its clinical usefulness. Methods: 467 cases of breast carcinoma proved by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. All the mammograms of the cases were reviewed by two radiologists working as a team and then analyzed by the CAD-system. The sensitivity for breast carcinoma detection (masses or calcification) was calculated respectively, and the results compared. Results: The sensitivity for breast carcinoma detection by the same radiologists without and with the CAD-system were 80. 94% , 88. 01% , respectively (P
