Tomosynthesis helps CAD catch lung nodules
Digital tomosynthesis shows promise for improved lung nodule detection compared with chest radiography. It may also improve performance of CAD algorithms for lung nodule detection by eliminating structure overlap that causes many false positives, according to a study presented at the 2005 RSNA meeting.
Digital tomosynthesis shows promise for improved lung nodule detection compared with chest radiography. It may also improve performance of CAD algorithms for lung nodule detection by eliminating structure overlap that causes many false positives, according to a study presented at the 2005 RSNA meeting.
Led by Nariman Majdi Nasab, Ph.D., investigators at Duke University tested automated detection of lung nodules on digital tomosynthesis images using a textural and morphological CAD approach. They developed and tested an algorithm (CAD-T) on five subjects using a commercial CsI/a-Si flat-panel detector and a custom tube mover. Patient exposure was equivalent to a lateral screen-film radiograph.
There were 12 nodules in the five subjects. The CAD-T method detected 11 of 12, which ranged from 4 mm to 21 mm. CAD-T marked an average of seven false positives per subject, mainly due to end-on vessels seen in cross section.
Sensitivity and specificity of the CAD-T method proved comparable to other CAD techniques applied to projection chest radiographs, according to the researchers.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Mammography-Based AI Abnormality Scoring May Improve Prediction of Invasive Upgrade of DCIS
April 9th 2024Emerging research suggests that an artificial intelligence (AI) score of 75 or greater for mammography abnormalities more than doubles the likelihood of invasive upgrade of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosed with percutaneous biopsy.
Mammography Study: AI Improves Breast Cancer Detection and Reduces Reading Time with DBT
April 3rd 2024An emerging artificial intelligence (AI) model demonstrated more than 12 percent higher specificity and reduced image reading time by nearly six seconds in comparison to unassisted radiologist interpretation of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images.
