Efficacy of mammogram and ultrasound in detecting residual tumor.

Histological findings Sensitivity e (%) Specificity f (%) Negative predictive value g (%) Positive predictive value h (%)
Residual tumor No. (%) No residual tumor No. (%)
Mammogram findings (n=53) 36.3 90.0 46.2 85.7
Residual tumor 12 (22.6) (a) 2 (3.8) (b)
No residual tumor 21(39.6) (c) 18 (34.0) (d)
Ultrasound findings (n=115) 38.2 91.5 50.6 86.7
Residual tumor 26 (22.6) (a') 4 (3.5) (b')
No residual tumor 42 (36.5) (c') 43 (37.4) (d')

e Sensitivity = a/ (a + c) for mammogram or a'/ (a' + c') for ultrasound.

f Specificity = d/ (b + d) for mammogram or d'/ (b' + d') for ultrasound.

g Negative predictive value = d/ (c + d) for mammogram or d'/ (c' + d') for ultrasound.

h Positive predictive value = a/ (a + b) for mammogram or a'/ (a' + b') for ultrasound.
