  • Title: Computer aided diagnosis of bone tumors.
    Author: Virtama P, Katevuo K, Mäkelä P, Mäkinen EO.
    Journal: Acta Radiol Diagn (Stockh); 1979; 20(1):70-4. PubMed ID: 373392.
    Abstract:
    Four radiologists, three of whom having no special expertise in bone tumor radiology, analysed 177 bone tumors. One of the radiologists, using a computer aided bone tumor program, performed significantly better than the other two at a comparable level of training and was able to compete successfully with the fourth radiologist experienced in bone diagnosis. The results validate the assumption that computer aided diagnostic programs may improve the diagnostic accuracy of radiologists having limited experience with the problem at hand.
