Table 7. Diagnostic values of the interpretation of the tracer uptake trend in late images from [99mTc]Tc-Sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy.

Tracer uptake trend
Variables TP TN FP FN TOT SEN SPE PPV NPV ACC
Imaging Interpretation (%) (%) (%) (%) (%)
Method U1 10 78 61 12 161 0.45 0.56 0.14 0.87 0.55
(6.2) (48.4) (37.9) (7.5) (100)
Method U2 6 126 13 16 161 0.27 0.91 0.32 0.89 0.82
(3.7) (78.3) (8.1) (9.9) (100)

Method U1: negative = decreased uptake, positive = increased or constant uptake.

Method U2: negative = decreased or constant uptake, positive = increased uptake.

TP = true positive, TN = true negative, FP = false positive, FN = false negative, TOT = total of valid cases, SEN = sensitivity, SPE = specificity, PPV = positive predictive value, NPV = negative predictive value, ACC = accuracy.

Bold values highlight the most important results.
