FIT is undertaking a mixed-methods evaluation in Vietnam to assess the use of Lunit computer-aided detection (CAD) software as a decisional support tool for radiologists during tuberculosis screening. The work hopes to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of chest X-ray interpretation. This study will compare the added value of combining CAD software with radiologist readings against the standard practice of radiologist-only readings. Additionally, it will explore the acceptability and implementation experiences of using CAD software among stakeholders, including health professionals, policymakers, and TB patients.
