Computer-Aided Simple Triage (CAST) are computerized methods or systems that assist physicians in initial interpretation and classification of medical images. CAST is a sub-class of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD). CAST software systems perform a fully automatic initial triage (classification) of diagnostic medical imaging studies. CAST is primarily intended for emergency diagnostic imaging, where a prompt diagnosis of critical, life-threatening condition is required.〔Goldenberg R, Peled N., Computer-aided simple triage, Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg., 6(5):705-11, Sep 2011, PMID 21499779〕 ==Overview== Computer-aided Simple Triage (CAST) is a combination of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) and Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START). CAST performs a fully automatic initial interpretation of a study - a "wet read". Studies are automatically classified into some meaningful categories, e.g. positive/negative, critical/minor/normal, difficult/simple/non-diagnostic, etc.〔 CAST is primarily intended for emergency diagnostic imaging. Unlike traditional CAD, mainly used to detect malignant lesions, CAST deals with acute, life-threatening conditions, when a prompt diagnosis is time critical. While the primary goal of the traditional CAD is improving the diagnostic accuracy of a human reader, the CAST addresses two other problems: * Low availability of image interpreters - no reader immediately available to read an urgent study - off hours, rural places, under-staffing * Reading sequence prioritization - given a large number of studies to read, establish the optimal reading sequence, e.g. urgent cases first; or, given several available readers, distribute the workload in the optimal way, e.g. simple cases to trainees, difficult to experts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Computer-aided simple triage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
