Table 2:

Comparison between concerns of nonradiologists about initial imaging versus impressions of neuroradiologistsa

Incidental Finding PresentIncidental Finding Absent
Nonradiologist concern present52 (TP)81 (FP)PPV = 0.39
Nonradiologist concern absent2807 (FN)13,593 (TN)NPV = 0.83
Sensitivity = 0.02Specificity = 0.99
  • Note:—TP indicates true-positive; FP, false-positive; TN, true-negative; FN, false-negative.

  • a PPV = TP/(TP + FP). NPV = TN/(FN + TN). Sensitivity = TP/(TP + FN). Specificity = TN/(TN + FP).
