Abstract
Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems are improving their performance both in terms of sensitivity and specificity, but false prompts remain an area of interest because of their potential to distract from prompts marking real abnormalities and to reduce the importance attached to any given prompt by a film reader. Many false prompts are very near to the threshold for prompting: in this study we investigate reproducibility of prompting by a commercial CAD system.
