Summary of diagnostic performance, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), per tissue-type for discrimination between all tissue subtypes, normal (NOR), fibroadenoma (FA), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive cancer (INV), and treated invasive cancer (INV(Rx)), and for discrimination between benign and malignant pathologies; the 95% confidence interval is reported for sensitivity and specificity values when the confidence interval range is >1%.
