The initial development of CAD4TB started in 2005. In 2011, the first CAD4TB prototype was released and every year since, an updated version has been released, with improved performance both in speed and accuracy as a result.

Now, since the start of May 2018, every day, over 5,000 chest X-ray images are being analysed with CAD4TB from all over the world; a new milestone that we are very proud of!

Later this year, update 6 of CAD4TB will become available. The key feature of this improved version is that the software is now reliable for children.

So far, more than 2 million screenings have been done with CAD4TB in over 30 countries.
