<b>Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) in Screening Mammography:</b> Sensitivity of Commercial CAD Systems for Detecting Architectural Distortion

Abstract

Fewer than one half of the cases of architectural distortion were detected by the two most widely available CAD systems used for interpretations of screening mammograms. Considerable improvement in the sensitivity of CAD systems is needed for detecting this type of lesion. Practicing breast imagers who use CAD systems should remain vigilant for architectural distortion.
