TN true negative, FP false positive, FN false negative, TP true positive

asensitivity (true positive rate) = TP/(TP + FN)

bspecificity (true negative rate) = TN/(TN + FP)

cAbnormal defined as any regional mCERADSOT score > 1.5). Note while these analyses are presented by individual reads, the a priori analysis was by majority read (sensitivity was 91% and specificity was 90% by majority read N = 106)

dAbnormal defined as any CERAD region moderate or frequent (multiple measures)

eAbnormal defined as and CERAD region moderate or frequent (single point estimate)

fAbnormal defined as phase 3, 4 or 5
