Lesion diameter by reconstruction algorithm

Lesion Category	Mean ± SD (Total N)	SD-FBP	RD-FBP		RD-ASIR		RD-MBIR
Lesion Category	Mean ± SD (Total N)	Mean lesion diameter (mm) with P-values^*
True positive malignant lesions		21.6 ± 16.5 (199)	22.7 ± 18.1 (174)	P=0.537	22.0 ± 17.8 (177)	P=0.812	22.8 ± 18.4 (182)	P=0.484
True positive benign lesions		12.6 ± 10.2 (103)	11.8 ± 8.5 (84)	P=0.509	11.9 ± 8.1 (75)	P=0.610	11.6 ± 9.1 (76)	P=0.481
False positive lesions		18.0 ± 14.4 (14)	12.9 ± 8.1 (14)	P=0.254	12.0 ± 8.1 (12)	P=0.214	8.6 ± 6.6 (32)	P=0.004
False negative lesions (mets mischaracterized as benign)		6.0 ± 0.0 (2)	7.0 ± 1.0 (3)	P=0.272	7.5 ± 3.5 (2)	P=0.609	9.0 ± N/A (1)	P=N/A
