title: [Computer-assisted diagnosis].
abstract: Numerous models of computer-aided diagnosis have been developed. However, only a few are used in the clinical routine. The methodology of computer-aided diagnosis is described briefly in this paper and a survey of clinical applications is given. Standards for evaluating these models are proposed and illustrated by examples. The inadequate assessment of most diagnostic systems is one of the main reasons for their limited clinical use. New methodological and technical developments will lead to more clinical applications, if the systems are evaluated adequately.
