Abstract
SummaryCurrent computed tomography (CT) technology allows for isotropic, sub‐millimetre resolution acquisition of the thorax in a few seconds. These thin‐slice chest scans have become indispensable in thoracic radiology, but have also increased the time and effort required from radiologists for reporting. Industry has focused on the development of computer‐aided diagnosis (CAD) tools to facilitate the interpretation of thoracic CT data. In this paper I discuss the three most ‘senior’ CAD applications for chest CT: nodule detection, nodule volumetry and quantification of emphysema. Are these applications ready for widespread application?
