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%
