For more information on how CAD4TB is extensively used throughout Pakistan, please view the story of ‘Using CAD in a High Throughput Settings,’ presented by Dr. Adeel Tahir, Senior Program Manger at MercyCorps in Pakistan. The story was presented during the 2022 Delft Imaging webinar.
“Pakistan is a big country, and the Mercy Coprs works in almost two-thirds of the nation. Many areas have issues with internet connectivity. In those settings, the CAD4TB boxes are helpful. It helps chest scan physicians even when radiologists are not present. Not only does it reduce human resources, but also reduces the cost of X-ray film printing. We only get scans printed once we get the score. We don’t print scans for people with lower scores, saving the costs. It also rationalises the use of Xpert testing. With CAD4TB software, we identify certain presumptions, and based on those presumptions, we go for Xpert testing.”
