Diagnostic ability of MR imaging criteria for ENS

MR Imaging Findings Diagnostic Ability (%)
Sensitivity Specificity Accuracy PPV NPV
Flare sign (fsT2WI) 77 93 88 83 90
Shaggy margin (CET1WI) 65 99 89 86 86
Short-axis diameter

    16 mm 80 85 84 76 88
    17 mm 78 84 81 74 87

Note:—fsT2WI indicates fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging; CET1WI, gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted imaging; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.
