Abstract
The use of computer-aided detection (CAD) in radiology has been studied for different organ systems. As with any new technology, its impact on determinations of standards of clinical practice is an evolving one that is often defined by its acceptability not only in medical forums but also as defined by courts of law. We discuss the first known appellate legal decision regarding the acceptability of CAD as it relates to the clinical practice of mammography.
