Does computer-aided detection (CAD) contribute to the performance of digital mammography in a self-referred population?
Background: Recent evidence suggests that computer-aided detection (CAD) may have a negative impact on the interpretation of mammography—this necessitates timely evaluation of CAD in practice. We report a retrospective study of the incremental effect of CAD on the accuracy of full-field digital mammography (DM) as applied prospectively in breast assessment.
