Training and QA Procedures for Using CAD Systems
R Summers1*, (1) National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, Bethesda, MD
WE-E-217A-4 Wednesday 2:00:00 PM - 3:50:00 PM Room: 217AComputer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) devices for radiology are becoming increasingly available for clinical use. To achieve the highest possible benefit from CAD systems, best practices are required for clinical implementation and use of CAD. This lecture will discuss four areas of interest to the medical physics community pertaining to CAD best practices: off-label use and pitfalls, user training, QA of CAD use, and academic opportunities for quality assurance (QA) research.
