¹ Both authors: Department of Radiology, Imaging Research, Ste. 4200, University of Pittsburgh, Magee-Womens Hospital, 300 Halket St., Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3180.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The benefit and cost of computer-assisted detection (CAD) mammography screening remains a topic of great interest in breast imaging. Our purpose is to reflect on and interleave two articles in this issue of the AJR that highlight the difficulty in assessing the actual benefit of using CAD from either retrospective or prospective studies.

CONCLUSION. This commentary describes the possible benefit and some of the issues associated with the clinical use of current CAD technology while emphasizing the expectation of and need for future improvements in CAD performance.
