Providence Imaging Center (PIC) incorporates computer-aided detection (CAD) into its breast cancer screening program. Digital mammography images are analyzed using a sophisticated software program, which highlights areas on the mammograms that contain features associated with cancer.

The CAD marking system is built into the digital mammography equipment used in-house at Providence Imaging Center. Film mammograms, used in PIC's Mobile Mammography program, are digitized, then run through the CAD program. The radiologist reviews the images conventionally then reviews the special CAD markers, if any, displayed on the monitor.
