Displaying MG CAD

Introduction

When an MG CAD SR (Structured Report) is available for MG or breast tomosynthesis studies, Synapse displays MG CAD , slider, and text overlay information on the image, such as Image:CAD succ with findings.

You can show or hide MG CAD findings, but you cannot edit or move an MG CAD findings. When you magnify an image, the MG CAD marker changes proportionally.

Note:
  • When both the AI-based GSPS/CAD SR and the converted DICOM SEG are available, the Viewer only displays the DICOM SEG as the AI result. The original GSPS/CAD-SR does not display in the Viewer.
  • The information that displays depends on the manufacturer.

To automatically display the MG CAD findings when you open a study, see Configuring Series Settings.

CAD Findings Information

When you open a study, the text overlay indicates if there are CAD findings for that study. Once you enable or show the CAD findings, Synapse updates the text overlay for each image to indicate whether there are CAD findings on the image level. For example:

  • Image: CAD succ with findings
  • 2/4

In the second example,the 2 indicates there are two CAD findings on the image and the 4 indicates the total number of findings for the study.

When you hover over MG CAD findings or markers, Synapse displays the following information:

  • Type of finding, such as a calcification cluster
  • CAD manufacturer name
  • CAD manufacturer software name and version

Tomosynthesis Studies

For breast tomosynthesis studies with MG CAD SR findings, Synapse displays an indicator for each image with findings on the slider. The following slider example displays two findings:

Note:

The number of CAD findings for a breast tomosynthesis indicates the total number of findings for the study (not per frame).
