Table 2.
Estimation of the statistical significance of the difference between the test FROC curve of the four-view approach and the FROC curve of each of the other three approaches: Single-view, two-view, and bilateral analyses. The pair of the view-based FROC curves for each test subset was compared using the JAFROC analysis. The p value of each pair and the FOMs of the FROC curves are shown for all masses and the malignant masses.
