Figure 3 Mean sensitivity for detecting each of the individual diagnostic features at the various CRs. Sensitivity for detecting each of the features varied widely in uncompressed images. The sensitivity for the detection of calcium decreased significantly at a CR of 16:1 compared with uncompressed images. There were trends toward decreased sensitivity with increasing CR for dissection and stent, but these trends did not reach statistical significance.
