1) To discuss the need for a computer aided detection (CAD) system for acute intracranial hemorrhage (AIH) from battlefield brain injury (BBI) 2) To discuss problems that arose from implementing a CAD workstation into clinical workflow at Walter Reed Army Medical Center 3) To discuss solutions to above mentioned problems

A. AIH as a cause of battlefield brain injury (BBI) B. Current methodology employed to diagnose and treat (BBI) C. Description of the AIH CAD system developed to aid in detecting AIH D. Known problems in CAD systems integration E. Unforseen roadblocks in CAD systems integration F. Solutions to mentioned problems G. Reflection on what could have been done to make the implementation of a CAD system more streamlined

The major teaching points of this exhibit are: 1. Results of cases evaluated by the CAD system upon clinical implementation 2. CAD systems integration with clinical workflow should be examined thoroughly to take into account common mistakes made in implementation 3. Unforseen problems should be expected, and time to identify and resolve such issues should be incorporated into any timeline
