Diagnostic accuracy of TTE, TTP and wash-in rate. Ninety-five per cent confidence intervals are reported
| Parameter | Cut-off value | AUC | Sensitivity | Specificity | PPV | NPV |
| TTE | ≤4 | 0.781 (0.612 to 0.901) | 45.75 (19.8 to 70.1) | 95 (75.1 to 99.9) | 87.5 (47.3 to 99.7) | 67.9 (47.1 to 99.7) |
| TTP | ≤15 | 0.758 (0.586 to 0.885) | 75 (46.7 to 92.7) | 75 (47.6 to 92.7) | 70.6 (44 to 89.7) | 78.9 (54.4 to 93.9) |
| Wash-in | ≤4 | 0.781 (0.612 to 0.901) | 93.8 (68.8 to 99.8) | 50 (27.2 to 72.8) | 60 (38.7 to 68.9) | 90.9 (58.7 to 99.8) |
AUC, area under the curve; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value; TTE, time from injection to enhancement; TTP, time to peak.
