The evaluation of deep-learning (DL) systems typically relies on the Area under the Receiver-Operating-Curve (AU-ROC) as a performance metric. However, AU-ROC, in its holistic form, does not sufficien...

Studies were included if PET/CT was performed for suspicion of PVE and IPD of both the PET/CT result and final diagnosis defined by a gold-standard assessment was available. There were 3 possible fina...
Seventeen studies were included with IPD available for 537 patients (from 538 scans). The summary sensitivity and specificity were 85% (95% CI 74.2%-91.8%) and 86.5% (95% CI 75.8%-92.9%) respectively ...
Developed as a plan-specific pre-treatment QA tool, Varian portal dosimetry promises a fast, high-resolution, and integrated QA solution. In this study, the agreement between predicted fluence and mea...
All patient plans and the corresponding verification plans were generated within the Eclipse treatment planning system. Four representative plans of different treatment sites (prostate, prostate with ...
Predicted and acquired portal dosimetry fluences demonstrated a high agreement evident by average gamma passing rates for the clinical patient plans of 99.90%, 96.64%, and 91.87% for γ...
Owing to the high achievable spatial resolution, portal dosimetry at the Halcyon can reliably be deployed as plan-specific pre-treatment QA tool to screen for errors. It is recommended to support the ...
Specific recognition and sensitive quantification of mRNA alternative splice variants have been a necessity for exploring the regulatory mechanism of RNA splicing and revealing the association between...
When evaluating potential new cancer screening modalities, estimating sensitivity, especially for early-stage cases, is critical. There are methods to approximate stage-specific sensitivity in asympto...
We fit natural history models to lung and ovarian cancer screening data that permitted estimation of stage-specific (early/late) true sensitivity, defined as the probability subjects screened in the g...
Stage-specific true sensitivities estimated by the lung cancer natural history model were 47% (early) and 63% (late). Simulation results for the prospective setting gave estimated sensitivities of 81%...
Existing methods for approximating stage-specific sensitivity in both prospective and retrospective scenarios are unsatisfactory; improvements are needed before they can be considered to be reliable....
Recombinant proteins in complex solutions are typically detected with tag-specific antibodies in Western blots. Here we describe an antibody-free alternative in which tagged proteins are detected dire...
Children with cancer often present with general and nonspecific symptoms leading to initial diagnostic workup inclusive of clinical imaging. Various sequences of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are b...
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are a cornerstone of modern molecular detection, but the technique still faces notable challenges. One of the biggest problems is discriminating true signal...
To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the ABCD progression display for keratoconus progression....
Data was collected from patients that underwent at least two Pentacam assessments 6 months apart. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for the ABCD progression display. Progression was defined ...
Thirty eyes were evaluated over a median time of 10.3 months. Progression by criterion 1 resulted in a sensitivity of 61.9% and specificity of 88.9%. Progression by criterion 2 resulted in higher sens...
The ABCD progression display can assess keratoconus progression with high sensitivity and specificity, thus assisting the patients' decision-making process. The D parameter did not contribute to the s...
To systematically evaluate the evidence for the reliability, sensitivity and specificity of existing measures of vowel-initial voice onset....
A literature search was conducted across electronic databases for published studies (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PubMed Central, IEEE Xplore) and grey literature (ProQuest for unp...
The search retrieved 6,983 records. Titles and abstracts were screened against the inclusion criteria by two independent reviewers, with a third reviewer responsible for conflict resolution. Thirty-fi...
A range of vowel-initial voice onset measurements have been applied throughout the literature, however, there is a lack of evidence regarding their sensitivity, specificity and reliability in the dete...
