Determining Thresholds for Computer‐Aided Detection for Silicosis—An Analytic Approach

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 464-472, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Computer‐aided detection (CAD) is emerging as an adjunct to the use of the chest X‐ray (CXR) in screening for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).
