Low-Dose Characterization of Kidney Stones Using Spectral Detector Computed Tomography: An Ex Vivo Study.

abstract：:Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis has been used in a broad variety of medical imaging studies during the past 15 years, and its advantages over more traditional measures of diagnostic performance are now clearly established. But despite the essential simplicity of the approach, workers in the field ofte...
