Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for displaying a plurality of CAD detections associated with a tomosynthesis case, the tomosynthesis case comprising a plurality of images, the tomosynthesis case being processed by a CAD algorithm that identifies CAD detections therein based at least in part upon respective computed features associated with respective CAD detections: displaying the plurality of tomosynthesis images to a viewer, respective tomosynthesis images comprising respective CAD markers corresponding to respective locations of respective CAD detections in respective tomosynthesis images; mapping a computed feature onto an operating curve of a navigational tool, the navigational tool comprising a plot of the operating curve and a plurality of CAD pointer icons, respective CAD pointer icons corresponding to respective CAD detections, the plurality of CAD pointer icons being spatially distributed along the navigational tool according to the mapping, each CAD pointer icon representing a CAD detection and visually communicating an aspect of the CAD detection to the viewer by the position of the graphical symbol on the plot; and displaying the navigational tool in proximity to at least one tomosynthesis image to the viewer.
