To evaluate the performance of a commercially available computer-aided detection (CAD) system in a series of pathologically proven lung cancers. Sixty-nine chest computed tomography (CT) scans obtained in 12 subjects (8 females, 4 males, age 51 to 75 y, mean 63 y) with 15 pathologically proven lung...
