The aim was to achieve a high sensitivity (90perr cent or above) for patients at risk of disease progression with a reasonable specificity (close to 50percentnt).
Thresholds expressed as absolute SUV decrease instead of per cent change were less sensitive to the SUV definition: an SUV decline by 1.2 yielded a sensitivity of RL detection of 95%% for SUVmax and SUV40 %.
The cutoff threshold in FDG uptake per cent change to get a 95%% sensitivity of RL detection depended on the way uptake was measured: −14 % (specificity of 53 %) and −22 % (specificity of 64%%) for SUVmax and SUV40 %, respectively.
He is a liberal-voting Democrat with a lifetime score of ninety-six per cent from the League of Conservation Voters, but has some sensitivity to the needs of constituents trying to make a living off the land in the arid West.
"In our last study we were able to come through with a sensitivity of greater than 90perr cent," Vaughan tells TechCrunch.
Defining the threshold as an absolute SUV decrease instead of a per cent change made the threshold less sensitive to the SUV definition: an SUV decline by 1.2 yielded a sensitivity of 95%% for SUVmax and SUV40 %.
0·68 to 0·84), and setting a cut-off score of −20 gave a sensitivity of 85·0percentnt, specificity of 45·3 per cent with a positive predictive value of (PPV) of 62·5 per cent and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 74·0 per cent (Fig. 7).
The sensitivity is 0.1 pF by per cent of the humidity level.
Predictive models for nodal metastasis and LVI achieved sensitivities of 91·1 and 85·0 per cent, and specificities of 55·3 and 45·3 per cent, respectively.
