Table 2. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of T2* to predict non-diagnostic elastography at various cut-off points.
Cutpoint in T2* (ms) | Sensitivity (of non-diagnostic elastography patients, % with T2* ≤ given cutpoint) (%) | Specificity (of adequate elastography patients, % with T2* > given cutpoint) (%) | PPV (of patients with a T2* ≤ given cutpoint, % that had non-diagnostic elastography) (%) | NPV (of patients with a T2* > given cutpoint, % that had adequate elastography) (%) |
