Figure 12 Plot of symmetric summary per-segment (A) and per-patient (B) receiver-operating characteristic of MSCT-CA compared with CA. The receiver-operating characteristic curve provides a graphic display of diagnostic accuracy by plotting 1 – specificity in the horizontal axis and sensitivity in the vertical axis. The pertinent area under the curve (AUC) and Q* statistic (the point where sensitivity and specificity are maximal), both with standard errors (SE), are also included. SROC = summary receiver-operating characteristic; other abbreviations as in Figure 2.
