Table 2.
Performance of the correspondence metrics from computer-extracted lesion features that yielded r⩾0.5 in differentiating corresponding image pairs from noncorresponding ones. r is the correlation coefficient for the corresponding dataset and r′ is for the noncorresponding dataset. The value after “±” is the standard error (se) associated with each AUC.
