Summary estimates of the diagnostic criteria and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for active IBD lesion on DWI and gadolinium using endoscopic or surgery findings as the gold standard in segment-level analysis

  DWI Gadolinium p-valuea
Sensitivity, % 62.5 (48.1–75.0) 45.7 (30.8–61.3) 0.028
Specificity, % 97.1 (93.5–98.7) 98.2 (95.3–99.4) 0.36
PPV, % 90.3 (79.4–95.7) 92.3 (79.3–97.4)  
NPV, % 86.2 (78.9–91.3) 81.4 (74.0–87.0)  
Accuracy, % 86.9 (80.6–91.3) 83.1 (76.5–88.1)  

DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease; NPV, negative-predictive value; PPV, positive-predictive value.
