In their recent article, Gur et al. (1) concluded that "The introduction of computer-aided detection...was not associated with statistically significant changes in recall and breast cancer detection rates for the entire group of radiologists as well as for the subset of seven radiologists who interpreted high volumes of mammograms." Three important points must be made regarding this conclusion.
First, the 95% confidence intervals (–11%
