Providence Imaging Center 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 at Providence Imaging Center, and is used on mobile mammograms as well. The radiologist reviews the images conventionally then reviews the special CAD markers, if any, displayed on the monitor.
