Emerging Tools for Computer-Aided Diagnosis and Prognostication

Although vast amounts of data are collected at clinical presentation, ranging from macro-scale Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, to micro-scale pathology slides, to nano-scale proteins and genes, there are challenges associated with analyzing, combining, and correlating these data to make diagnostic, prognostic, and theranostic predictions [2-4]. Computerized image analysis and data integ...

Classifications and Properties of Materials for Chairside Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing Dentistry: A Review

Background and Aim: Chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have become considerably more accurate, reliable, efficient, fast, and prevalent since 1985 when CEREC was introduced. The inceptive restorative material option for chairside CAD/CAM restorations was limited to ceramic blocks. Today, restorative material options have been multiplied and include me...

Computer-aided diagnosis for colonoscopy.

aided diagnosis (CAD) for colonoscopy is gaining increasing attention. CADallows automated detection and classification (i. e. pathological prediction) of colorectal polyps during realtime endoscopy, potentially helping endoscopists to avoid missing and mischaracterizing polyps. Although the evidence has not caught up with technological progress, CADhas the potential to improve the quality of c...

Computer-Aided Diagnosis:

Computer methodologies are being developed to assist radiologists, as second readers, in the interpretation of mammograms. This could represent further amelioration by increasing diagnostic accuracy in the screening programs. We have developed a computerized scheme to detect clustered microcalcifications in digital mammograms, using 100 mammograms that were randomly selected from the mammograph...
