Table 3:

Readers' performance in evaluating PCT and C-arm CT imagesa

Reader 1 Reader 2 Reader 3 Mean
TP readings of PCT 75.0% 70% 75% 73.3%
TP readings of C-arm CT 83.3% 83.3% 86.7% 84.4%
FP readings of PCT 0% 5% 0% 1.7%
FP readings of C-arm CT 0% 3.3% 6.7% 3.3%
FN readings of PCT 25% 25% 25% 25%
FN readings of C-arm CT 16.7% 13.3% 6.7% 12.2%
a

Percentage of TP (infarct was correctly identified), FP (CBV abnormality identified in a location where there was no DWI abnormality), and FN (no abnormality identified in location where there was a DWI abnormality) readings are given for each reader individually and the mean of all 3 readers. C-arm CT readings demonstrate a better correlation with the criterion standard DWI. Most interesting, the rate of FP readings is very low. Please note the discrepancy of FN PCT and FN C-arm CT readings.
