Evaluating computer-aided detection algorithms

Feature Selection for Computer-Aided Polyp Detection using Genetic Algorithms

To improve computer aided diagnosis (CAD) for CT colonography we designed a hybrid classification scheme that uses a committee of support vector machines (SVMs) combined with a genetic algorithm (GA) for variable selection. The genetic algorithm selects subsets of four features, which are later combined to form a committee, with majority vote for classification across the base classifiers. Cros...

An Overview of Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in Restorative Dentistry

Objective: To review the current knowledge of CAD/CAM in dentistry and its development in the mentioned field. Sources: An electronic search was conducted across Ovid Medline, complemented by manual search across individual databases, such as Cochrane, Medline and ISI Web of Science databases and Google Scholar for literature analysis on the mentioned topic. The studies were reviewed thoroughly...

Computer Aided Detection on Mammography

A typical definition of the Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD), found in literature, can be: A diagnosis made by a radiologist using the output of a computerized scheme for automated image analysis as a diagnostic aid. Often it is possible to find the expression Computer Aided Detection (CAD or CADe): this definition emphasizes the intent of CAD to support rather than substitute the human observer ...

Computer Aided Detection in Mammography

Breast cancer is a major health concern being responsible for the second most number of deaths caused by cancer in women. Early detection is therefore crucial to help reduce the number of deaths. At the moment, mammography is the best tool available to screen for early breast cancer. However, the detection of lesions in mammograms is a difficult procedure due to several factors the most promine...
