Abstract
A method and system that provides users with additional information regarding imagery analyzed by computer-aided detection (CAD) systems is described. A user selects a region of the analyzed imagery. Information is then derived from computational measurements of the region obtained during CAD processing. The region selected by the user does not necessarily have to include a displayed CAD system detection. The information includes a description of the computational measurement and the value of the measurement, both of which are provided in clinically relevant terms.
