Computer-aided detection (CAD) in mammography screening

The scientific evidence is insufficient to determine whether CAD plus single reading by one breast radiologist would yield results that are at least equivalent to those obtained in standard practice, i.e. double reading where two breast radiologists independently read the x-ray images.2.

Description
Summary:1. The scientific evidence is insufficient to determine whether CAD plus single reading by one breast radiologist would yield results that are at least equivalent to those obtained in standard practice, i.e. double reading where two breast radiologists independently read the x-ray images.2. Since the medical consequences are uncertain, it is not possible to determine the cost-effectiveness or the socioeconomic consequences of replacing one of the readings with CAD in the context of mammography screening.3. Since this literature review, CAD technology has advanced further by virtue of improved features in computer software and digitalisation of images. Additional studies are essential to understand the specific benefits, risks, and costs of the method
