Calculate the sensitivity and specificity of your test with this easy-to-use calculator.

The Center for Nuclear Receptors and Cell Signaling at the University of Houston has developed a new way to detect very rare and highly heterogeneous circulating tumor cells with high specificity ...

Culture-based methods are very sensitive but slow. Sputum smear microscopy is rapid (~1-hour turnaround) but has limited sensitivity and specificity and relies on additional user expertise.

Background: Anecdotal evidence suggests that the sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test may vary with disease prevalence. Our objective was to investigate the associations between disease ...

The usefulness of a diagnostic test is generally assessed by calculating the sensitivity and specificity, or the predictive value positive and predictive value negative of the test. When subjects are ...

Background: Sensitivity and specificity are characteristics of a diagnostic test and are not expected to change as the prevalence of the target condition changes. We sought to evaluate the association ...

Lung cancer screening using low-dose CT resulted in higher sensitivity and lower specificity than traditional screening according to the detection method.

Next-generation Cologuard exhibited improved colorectal cancer specificity and sensitivity compared with results of the FDA registrational trial that led to approval of the noninvasive screening ...

Screening trials with these markers using MDA followed by referral to ultrasound may maintain previously high levels of specificity and PPV, while significantly increasing early-stage screening ...
