"true positive (TP): an imaging test is positive and the patient has the disease/condition"

"On a first pass, we don't assume some relationship between the test and the disease/condition, but we hope there will be some relationship between the test and the disease/condition, because otherwise the test would be worthless."

Line 9:24 · Never use contractions: use 'do not' in place of 'don't'.

"true positive (TP): an imaging test is positive and the patient has the disease/condition"

Line 4:11 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>true positive</strong>'

"true positive (TP): an imaging test is positive and the patient has the disease/condition"

Line 4:45 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong> (TP): </strong>'

"For a given test and disease/condition, its sensitivity is how well it can be positive among all those with the condition. Therefore:"

Line 11:48 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>sensitivity </strong>'

"For a given test and disease/condition, its specificity is how well it can distinguish those with disease from those without. The test must not just fail to pick up a segment of the population (that might be poor sensitivity), it must distinguish those without the disease... the true negatives (TNs). Therefore:"

Line 17:48 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>specificity </strong>'

"SnNout: if a diagnostic test, characterised by high sensitivity (Sn), returns the negative value (N), then it excludes the diagnosis (out) 2-3."

Line 23:4 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>SnNout</strong>'

"SpPin: if a diagnostic test, characterised by high specificity (Sp), returns the positive value (P), then it admits the diagnosis (in) 2-3."

Line 24:4 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>SpPin</strong>'
