Computer-Aided Detection (CAD)

Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) is technology that helps medical professionals identify potential abnormalities in medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. CAD systems analyze these images using advanced algorithms to highlight areas that may require further inspection, acting as a second pair of eyes. While it doesn't make diagnoses, CAD improves accuracy and efficiency by assisting radiologists in detecting issues like tumors or fractures early and reliably. This tool enhances clinical decision-making, ultimately supporting better patient outcomes through more precise image interpretation.
