Computer‐aided detection of metastatic brain tumors using automated three‐dimensional template matching

To demonstrate the efficacy of an automated three‐dimensional (3D) template matching‐based algorithm in detecting brain metastases on conventional MR scans and the potential of our algorithm to be developed into a computer‐aided detection tool that will allow radiologists to maintain a high level of detection sensitivity while reducing image reading time.
