Abstract
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has become a practical clinical approach in diagnostic radiology, although at present only in the area of detection of breast cancer in mammograms. Current research efforts have been focused on detection and classification of images of many different types of lesions in a number of organs, obtained with various imaging modalities. It is likely that the present results of CAD are only at the tip of the iceberg. Although automated computer diagnosis is a concept based on computer algorithms only, CAD is a concept established by taking into account equally the roles of physicians and computers. The effect of CAD on differential diagnosis has already indicated that the performance level is high, and that CAD would be ready for clinical trials and commercialization efforts. The presentation of images similar to those of an unknown case may be useful as a supplemental tool for CAD in the differential diagnosis.
