Fig. 1A —85-year-old woman with vertebral fracture. Posteroanterior
(A) and lateral (B) chest radiographs show computer output for
indicating potential sites of nodules (arrowheads) and vertebral
fractures (arrow, B). Circle (B) indicates correct
location of vertebral fracture.

Fig. 2 —Graph shows receiver operating characteristic curves for
detection of vertebral fractures on lateral chest radiographs without and with
computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) (p = 0.002). AUC = area under the
receiver operating characteristic curve.
