Computer Aided Diagnosis

CAD is a relatively young interdisciplinary technology combining elements of artificial intelligence and digital image processing with radiological image processing. A typical application is the detection of a tumor. In this application, CAD supports the preventive medical check up in mammography (diagnosis of breast cancer), the detection of a polyp in the colon, and lung cancer.¹

      I went into service soon after graduation. Though I find life quite hard without some reading material I lost contact with the medical books. Every service has problems peculiar to it. Certain problems are common to all. Formulating new strategies to solve and avoid them are always on the menu. You may get a nasty boss. There are some colleagues who are always on the look out for creating trouble for others and revel in it. You may find it impossible to avoid by-pass or ignore them. They are a constant drain on your mental peace. After a days work you are so exhausted that you want to leave every thing back and just relax with your family. There is hardly any time for books. This is more so if regular brushing up of your professional knowledge is not very necessary to keep you in the job.
