Table 5.

Observed sensitivity and specificity for the dermoscopic, investigational site's histopathology evaluations, as well as the Nevisense result grouped according to the study's histopathological gold standard (HGS). The results are derived from the cohort of eligible and evaluable lesions that had sufficient image quality to render a dermoscopic evaluation
