Sensitivity and specificity for complicated cyst detection in B-mode and short-lag spatial coherence (SLSC) images, aggregated among the three readers, compared with that achieved with a generalized contrast-to-noise ratio (gCNR) = 0.73 and with the gCNR threshold closest to (0,1) on the real-time SLSC receiver operating characteristic curve (i.e., gCNR = 0.62).
