Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate radiologist performance in detection of lacunar infarcts on T1- and T2-ighted images, without and with the use of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) scheme. Thir- ty T1-ighted and 30 T2-ighted MR images obtained from 30 patients re used for assessing observer perfor- mance. These images re acquired using the fast spin-echo sequence with a 1.5-T MR imaging scanner. The group included 15 patients (age range, 48-83 years; mean age, 67.2 years; 10 men and five women) with a lacunar infarct and 15 patients (age range, 39-76 years; mean age, 64.0 years; eight men and seven women) without lacunar infarcts. Nine radiologists participated in the study. The radiologists initially interpreted the T1 -a nd T 2-ighted images without and then with the use of CAD, which indicated their confidence levels regarding the presence (or absence) of lacunar infarcts and the most likely position of a lesion on each MR scan. The observers' performance with- out and with the computer output was evaluated by performing receiver operating characteristic analysis. For the nine radiologists, the mean area under the best-fit binor- mal receiver operating characteristic curve plotted for unit square values of radiologists who interpreted the images without and with the scheme re 0.891 and 0.937, respec- tively. The performance of the radiologists improved signif- icantly when they used the computer output (p00.032). The CAD scheme has potential to improve the accuracy of radiologists' performance in detection of lacunar infarcts.
