Why is CAD important in the detection of breast cancer?
The widespread use of regular mammography screening has been a major contributor to improvements in breast cancer survival rates. While mammography has been proven to be a powerful tool in the fight against breast cancer, the accurate reading of mammograms can sometimes be difficult. Even the most trained eye can miss subtle variations in tissue that may be of concern. The result is that approximately 15 percent of cancers go undetected by screening mammography.
