Difference in accuracy between control and prescreen arms for various accuracy metrics as a function of the standalone performance of the AI device. AI standalone sensitivity is illustrated as 0.95 or 0.99, and its standalone specificity is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5. The human reader sensitivity and specificity are set at 0.938 and 0.734, respectively, with disease prevalence of 4%. In the control arm, for the area under the ROC curve (AUC), at a FPR = 1-0.734 and Sens = 0.938, and assuming a binormal model with binormal parameter B = 1, we determined that binormal parameter A = 2.16 (based on Sensitivity =  Φ(A+BΦ1(FPR))) [8]. Other parameterizations of the ROC curve will give different results. For AUC and NPV, a positive-valued difference (as illustrated on the y-axis) suggests higher accuracy in the prescreen arm than the control arm; for the NLR a negative-valued difference suggests improved accuracy in the prescreen arm.
