Understanding of the limitations of computer-aided detection is important for those interpreting mammograms; this cautious approach to the use of computer-aided detection should help optimize this presently imperfect system and minimize the possible detrimental effects

Thanks for referring to this interesting article, that explains again why computer-aided detection of masses in mammography is a very challenging task.

I'm convinced by knowing the weaknesses of current CAD systems it is possible to optimize the use of such systems to improve mass detection performance.
