AUC (p-value) 0.64 (0.095) 0.59 (0.041) 0.57 (0.047) 0.73
Kappa 0.15 0.24 0.31 0.48
McNemar 0.19 0.00 0.21 0.48

AUC, area under curve or balanced accuracy with p-values from DeLong's test for receiver operating characteristic curves compared with breast-specific gamma imaging; McNemar, p-value for comparison of imaging modalities and histologically confirmed results; NPV, negative predictive value (describes the ability of a negative test to rule out malignancy); PPV, positive-predictive value (describes the ability of a positive test to predict malignancy); TNR, true negative rate; TPR, true positive rate.
