Utilization of Computer-Aided Detection for Digital Screening Mammography in the United States, 2008 to 2016

摘要

Purpose: Computer-aided detection (CAD) for screening mammography is a software technology designed to improve radiologists' reading performance. Since 2007, multiple Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium research papers have shown that CAD decreases performance by increasing recalls and decreasing the detection of invasive cancer while increasing the detection of ductal carcinoma in situ. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that CAD use by digital mammography facilities would decrease over time.
