Diagnostic accuracy of dermoscopy
The Lancet Oncology, 2002The accuracy of the dinical diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma with the unaided eye is only about 60%. Dermoscopy, a non-invasive, in vivo technique for the microscopic examination of pigmented skin lesions, has the potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Xeromammography
Tumori Journal, 1981The analytical study of the case material has allowed a precise evaluation of the distribution by age groups of the different pathologic processes of the breast, of the localization and dimensions of malignant tumors, as well as the diagnostic accuracy for those cases histologically ascertained and those with a follow-up.

Diagnostic accuracy of CE Chirp
International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2020There has been an increase in the use of the CE-Chirp stimulus in automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) equipment for neonatal hearing screening. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the LS CE-Chirp-evoked auditory brainstem response (ABR) compared to the click-evoked ABR for the identification of different degrees

The medical community often assumes that the tests we use to diagnose various diseases are accurate, safe, and effective. However, the study designs traditionally used to determine whether such a diagnostic test is indeed accurate, safe, and effective are often at a higher risk of bias and are of lower methodological quality than those evaluating ...

Diagnostic accuracy in cytopathology
Diagnostic Cytopathology, 1994Cytopathologic diagnoses play an important role in clinical decision making. As a result, the tests that produce material for cytopathologic interpretation must be evaluated critically and carefully. One way to evaluate these tests is by the assessment of diagnostic accuracy.

Enhancing and Evaluating Diagnostic Accuracy
Medical Decision Making, 1991Techniques that may enhance diagnostic accuracy in clinical settings were tested in the context of mammography. Statistical information about the relevant features among those visible in a mammogram and about their relative importances in the diagnosis of breast cancer was the basis of two decision aids for radiologists: a checklist that guides the ra

An evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of Pathfinder
Computers and Biomedical Research, 1992We present an evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of Pathfinder, an expert system that assists pathologists with the diagnosis of lymph node diseases. We evaluate two versions of the system using both informal and decision-theoretic metrics of performance.

Diagnostic accuracy of effusion cytology
Diagnostic Cytopathology, 1999The aim of this investigation was to report on the diagnostic accuracy of conventional effusion cytology. Cytological diagnoses of 300 pleural effusions and 300 ascites were compared with clinical and/or histological follow-ups of the respective patients.

The diagnostic accuracy of a microlaparoscope
The Journal of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, 1995The performance of microlaparoscopy has been limited until recently. The introduction of a 2-mm laparoscope for diagnostic and minor procedural work may represent a technologic advance. Before such systems are used widely, their diagnostic accuracy must be validated.

Diagnostic accuracy of pancreatic scanning
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1972Pancreatic scans of 200 patients have been analyzed and presented. The pancreatic scan must be rigidly controlled technically if its maximum clinical value is to be achieved. An unequivocally normal pancreatic scan is strong evidence that the acinar portion of the gland is normal. In our experience, 89.5% of the patients who had normal pancreatic scans
