摘要

This paper brielyfty outlines the basic concepts of computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD),including some fundamental techniques used in CAD system. Commercial CAD products and several ongoing CAD projects are also described in the field of medical image processing. The data presented at the special IFCSTA 2010 session on the "state-of-the-art of CAD" are summarized in this report,with information on the topics related to the latest technological developments and applications of CAD,which include 3D torso and lung computed tomography (CT) imaging,hepetic magnetic resonance (MR) and CT imaging,torso FDG-PET (positron emission tomography) scanning,and fundus photography.
