Gold standard | |
True Positive (TP) | Detection ratio > 1.2 | The expert surgeon has HIGH/MEDIUM confidence that tissue is parathyroid | Detection ratio > 1.2 | FSA/Permanent histology is POSITIVE for parathyroid tissue |
False Positive (FP) | Detection ratio > 1.2 | The expert surgeon has LOW confidence that tissue is parathyroid | Detection ratio > 1.2 | FSA/Permanent histology is NEGATIVE for parathyroid tissue |
True Negative (TN) | Detection ratio < 1.2 | The expert surgeon has LOW confidence that tissue is parathyroid | Detection ratio < 1.2 | FSA/Permanent histology is NEGATIVE for parathyroid tissue |
False Negative (FN) | Detection ratio < 1.2 | The expert surgeon has HIGH/MEDIUM confidence that tissue is parathyroid | Detection ratio < 1.2 | FSA/Permanent histology is POSITIVE for parathyroid tissue |
PTeye™ has been designed such that when detection ratio > 1.2, the device indicates a high probability of the tissue being parathyroid. Similarly, a detection ratio < 1.2 would suggest a low probability of the tissue being parathyroid.
