Table III.

Detection performance of the classifier by biopsy outcome, type of abnormality, and density BIRADS at three specificity levels.

Specificity 95% 90% 80%
Biopsy result All 56 biopsy cases 22 (39%) 30 (54%) 41 (73%)
9 Cancer cases 2 (22%) 6 (67%) 7 (78%)
9 High risk cases 6 (67%) 6 (67%) 7 (78%)
38 Benign biopsy cases 14 (37%) 18 (47%) 27 (71%)

Abnormality 37 cases depicting only masses 14 (38%) 17 (46%) 25 (68%)
8 cases depicting calcifications only 4 (50%) 6 (75%) 6 (75%)
11 cases depicting both abnormalities 4 (36%) 7 (64%) 10 (91%)

Breast density 12 BIRADS 2 cases 3 (25%) 5 (42%) 9 (75%)
36 BIRADS 3 cases 16 (44%) 20 (56%) 27 (75%)
8 BIRADS 4 cases 3 (38%) 5 (63%) 5 (63%)
