Parameter AUC (95% CI) Optimal cutoff value Sensitivity (95% CI) Specificity (95% CI)
RTE 0.68 (0.58–0.77) ≤0.31 64.4% (52.3–75.3%) 70.0% (50.6–85.3%)
TLR 0.83 (0.75–0.90) ≤0.61 89.0% (79.5–95.1%) 63.3% (43.9–80.1%)
TEI 0.74 (0.64–0.82) ≤0.76 78.1% (66.9–86.9%) 63.3% (43.9–80.1%)
RER 0.78 (0.68–0.85) ≤0.33 79.5% (68.4–88.0%) 63.3% (43.9–80.1%)

AUC, area under the ROC curve; RTE, relative tumor enhancement; TLR, tumor to liver contrast ratio; TEI, tumor enhancement index; RER, relative enhancement ratio; CI, confidence interval.
