一種計(jì)算機(jī)輔助檢查鑒別系統(tǒng)最近研制成功，系統(tǒng)能夠?qū)⑷榉坑跋裰袠?biāo)記出來的可疑病變顯示在顯示屏上，而這通常是在乳房X線攝影膠片上閱讀的。

ClearLook CAD影像鑒別工具包由iCAD公司研制成功，與iCAD公司的放射醫(yī)生閱片工作站配套使用，能夠提供全幅高清晰放大功能，使得放射醫(yī)生能夠放大乳房影像的任何區(qū)域。系統(tǒng)為放射醫(yī)生提供了感興趣區(qū)域與鈣化、腫塊相關(guān)的描述性信息，幫助放射醫(yī)生了解為什么CAD標(biāo)記出或者未標(biāo)記的任何特定病變。

iCAD公司總裁與首席執(zhí)行官說：“ClearLook提供了增強(qiáng)觀察以及可疑病變相關(guān)病理資料，系統(tǒng)為醫(yī)生提供了發(fā)現(xiàn)與鑒別乳腺癌的早期指標(biāo)。系統(tǒng)做為iCAD的第二代Look500乳房X線攝影系統(tǒng)的備選產(chǎn)品，同樣將成為iCAD的第二代Look300系統(tǒng)的備選產(chǎn)品。”

CAD Image Characterization System
 
A computer-aided detection (CAD) characterization system has recently been developed that presents breast images marked to show suspicious features on a display screen typically located where mammography films are read.

The ClearLook CAD image characterization package, developed by iCAD, Inc. (Nashua, NH, USA), used in combination with iCAD’s radiologist review station provides full-image, high-resolution zoom capabilities to allow the radiologist to enlarge any area of the breast image presented. The system provides the radiologist with descriptive information related to calcifications and masses in the region of interest, helping the radiologist understand why a specific set of features was marked, or not marked, in a CAD study.

“Because ClearLook provides enhanced viewing and hard data related to the pathology in question,” said Scott Parr, iCAD’s president and CEO, “it provides additional support to the physician in recognizing and addressing early indicators of breast cancer. The system, available as an option for iCAD’s Second Look 500 mammography systems, will also be available as an option on iCAD’s Second look 300 system.
