The purpose of this project is to develop computer-aided diagnosis/detection (CAD) for a wide variety of radiologic images and disease types. This project uses existing NIH CT scan images.
We published the first (to our knowledge) subcutaneous melanoma CAD system. We are now developing a CAD system to detect spinal metastases on CT. In preliminary evaluation, this CAD system is effective at detecting large lytic spinal metastases. With further development, this system may prevent false negative diagnoses of lytic spinal metastases.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
