Abstract

A study used a large, geographically diverse group of patients to assess the effect of computer-aided detection on the performance of screening mammography in community-based settings. Results showed that the use of computer-aided detection was associated with reduced accuracy of interpretation of screening mammograms, but the increased rate of biopsy with the use of such detection was not clearly associated with improved detection of invasive breast cancer.
