Computer Aided Detection of Tuberculosis Using Chest Radiography: A Clinical Validation of the CAD4TB Version 7 System

For more information about how CAD4TB is used and validated in Uganda, please refer to the story of ‘Computer Aided Detection of Tuberculosis Using Chest Radiography: A Clinical Validation of the CAD4TB Version 7 System,’ presented by Dr. Stela Zawedde-Muyanja, Research Scientist at the Infectious Diseases Institute, part of the College of Health Sciences of Makerere University in Uganda. The story was presented during the 2023 Delft webinar. During the webinar, Dr. Zawedde-Muyanja noted “Optimizing the CAD4TB threshold scores for TB screening in health facility settings could enable healthcare workers to detect an optimum number of TB cases while significantly reducing the number of Xpert tests needed.”
