Table 2 Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy with different apparent diffusion coefficient parameters and values and the respective area under curve. Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Word 2013 (version 15.0.5389.1000).
| Variable | AUC | p-value | ADC | Sensitivity | Specificity | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADC mean | 0.615 | 776 | 60.0% | 67.2% | 64.1% | |
| ADC minimum | 0.558 | 0.306 | 985 | 42.2% | 74.1% | 60.2% |
| ADC maximum | 0.595 | 0.090 | 547 | 60.0% | 58.6% | 59.2% |
| ADC – apparent diffusion coefficient; AUC – area under curve. | ||||||
