Numbers are patients (%). Patients had at most one polyp. Note that per patient and per polyp sensitivities are not necessarily identical because radiologists could miss the true polyp and instead inappropriately mark a false positive as a polyp, leading to a true positive patient and false negative polyp. The differences between single-mark and double-mark reads for individual readers and for the average reader were not statistically significant using bootstrap analysis. 95% confidence intervals for the average reader are from the MRMC analysis. The data for specificity include three normal cases that were identical on two readings; each reading was arbitrarily assigned to either the single-mark or double-mark groups. For the other nine normal cases, a pair of false positives was either matched (double-mark) or unmatched on the supine and prone scans based on location and CAD score to mimic the situation for the abnormal cases.
