The radiology department of the University of Chicago will demonstrate a research prototype of its interactive colon computer-aided detection (CAD) workstation at next week's RSNA meeting in Chicago.
The workstation was developed to assist radiologists in detecting polyps with virtual colonoscopy, and has achieved 100% by-patient sensitivity (90% by-polyp sensitivity) in recent journal-published research. The demonstration will allow radiologists to navigate through the colon in 2-D and 3-D views, and interactively examine the suspicious polyps detected and highlighted by CAD algorithms, according to the University of Chicago.
The freestanding exhibit (Computer-aided detection of polyps for CT colonography: interactive demonstration #1066 GI) will be demonstrated continuously throughout the conference.
