Table 4.

Results of sensitivity/specificity analysis for RCM parameters are shown. Table presents ranking in order of 1) highest sensitivity 2) highest specificity, from scoring of investigator 1 (INV I). Only data with relevant reproducibility have been included in the analysis. Data are expressed as % of all examined cases. A p-value 0.05 was considered significant (Pearson Chi2 Test).
