Abstract: Multi-detector CT scanners facilitate the detection of very small nodules within the lung parenchyma, with a sensitivity that is significantly superior to that of chest radiography. It has been demonstrated that an unacceptable number of nodules may be missed by radiologist reading. The issues of reader fatigue and the presentation of essentially redundant image appearances are addressed with the development of semi-automated computer-aided detection (CAD) software algorithms. The purpose of this study is to assess one of the commercially available tools, the ImageChecker-CT, from R2 Technology, within a state-of-the art screening study. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
