The following is a simple and non-comprehensive illustration of an encoding of the Colon CAD SR IOD for colon computer aided detection results. For brevity, some mandatory content items are not included.
A colon CAD device processes a typical screening colon case, i.e., there are several hundred images and no polyp findings. Colon CAD runs polyp detection successfully and finds nothing.
The colon radiograph resembles:

A colon CAD device processes a screening colon case with several hundred images, and a colon polyp detected. The colon radiograph resembles:
The content tree structure in this example is complex. Structural illustrations of portions of the content tree are placed within the content tree table to show the relationships of data within the tree. Some content items are duplicated (and shown in boldface) to facilitate use of the diagrams.

The patient in Example 2 returns for another colon radiograph. A more comprehensive colon CAD device processes the current colon radiograph, and analyses are performed that determine some temporally related content items for Composite Features. Portions of the prior colon CAD report (Example 2) are incorporated into this report. In the current colon radiograph the colon polyp has increased in size.
