Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Per-patient detection sensitivity unassisted vs CAD assisted reading

    Comparison of the detection sensitivity between unassisted and CAD assisted reading. Per patient analysis

    1 month after collection of data

  • Per-lesion detection sensitivity unassisted vs CAD assisted reading

    Comparison of the detection sensitivity between unassisted and CAD assisted reading. Per-lesion analysis. Sub-analyses per nodule tissue, nodule dimension and nodule localization are included

    1 month after collection of data

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison of reading time between unassisted vs CAD assisted reading

    1 month after collection of data

Study Arms (1)

Oncological patients with extra-thoracic cancer

Patients enrolled into the study performed CT either for staging, restaging or follow-up of extrathoracic malignancies.

Diagnostic Test: Computed Tomography

Interventions

Computed TomographyDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

CT scans were performed on a 128 detector rows CT scanner (Somatom Definition Flash Siemens Medical Systems, Erlangen, Germany) as in routine clinical practice in the centre

Study Population

Between September 2015 and March 2016, 237 consecutive patients (123 men, 52%) with an average age of 62 (range 21-90 years), were enrolled in this retrospective observational single centre study. Patients enrolled into the study performed CT either for staging, restaging or follow-up of extrathoracic malignancies
