Comparative Study
Computer-aided detection (CAD) and assessment of malignant lesions in the liver and lung using a novel PET/CT software tool: initial results.
To determine the feasibility of a PET/CT software tool (PET computer-aided detection: PET-CAD) for automated detection and assessment of pulmonary and hepatic lesions. ⋯ Software tools for automated lesion detection and assessment are expected to improve the clinical PET/CT workflow. Before implementation in the clinical routine, further improvements to the measurement accuracy are required.

To evaluate the significance of multislice CT for the diagnosis of uncertain penetrating globe injuries. ⋯ In about one third of all unclear cases with rupture of the globe due to severe trauma, CT evaluation failed to correctly diagnose the open globe injury, which might lead to a delay in necessary surgical intervention. Thus, surgical sclera inspection is always mandatory in such unclear trauma cases regardless of the MD-CT results.
