PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate whether a difference-image computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme can heir) radiologists detect peripheral lung cancers missed at low-dose computed tomography (CT).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional review board approval and informed patient and observer consent were obtained. Seventeen patients (eight men and nine women; mean age, 60 years) with a missed peripheral lung cancer and 10 control subjects (five men and five women; mean age, 63 years) without cancer at low-dose CT were included in an observer study. Fourteen radiologists were divided into two groups on the basis of different image display formats: Six radiologists (group 1) reviewed CT,scans with a multiformat display, and eight radiologists (group 2) reviewed images with a "stacked" cine-mode display. The radiologists, first without and then with the CAD scheme, indicated their confidence level regarding the presence (or absence) of,cancer and the most likely position of a lesion on each CT scan. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated without and with localization to evaluate the observers' performance.RESULTS: With the CAD scheme, the average area under the ROC curve improved from 0.763 to 0.854 for all radiologists (P = .002), from 0.757 to 0.862 for group I (P = .04), and from 0.768 to 0.848 for group 2 (P =.01). The average sensitivity in the detection of 17 cancers improved from 52% (124 of 238 observations) to 68% (163 of 238 observations) for all radiologists (P
