Table 3. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of CAD for different types of lesions in breast expressed as number and/or percentage.
| Radiologists | CAD | Sensitivity | Specificity | PPV | NPV | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All lesionsa | 89 (100%) | 49 (54%) | 54% | 16% | 23% | 37% |
| Lesions without ALNb,c | 69 (100%) | 29 (42%) | 47% | 16% | 19% | 43% |
| Lesions without benign masses and ALNd | 18 (100%) | 8 (44%) | 44% | 16% | 6% | 71% |
| Suspicious lesions | 7 (100%) | 6 (86%) | 85% | 16% | 5% | 96% |
