Accuracy refers to the average of sensitivity and specificity. SE, standard error; CI, confidence interval. The p-value corresponds to a two-sided hypothesis test comparing reader-averaged accuracy with each scanner viewing mode to the accuracy of the microscope. The p-values of the four hypotheses are compared following the sequentially rejective Bonferroni test with alpha = 0.05 [33]. Statistical significance is indicated with an asterisk *. All analyses account for the correlations and variability from the readers reading the same ROIs, and the correlations arising from MFs contained within the same slides
