Table 3 Comparative performance of positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging maximum standardized uptake value and minimum apparent diffusion coefficient for lesion detection compared with positron emission tomography-computed tomography reference

Test characteristic	SUVmax > 2.5	ADCmin < 0.5 mm²/s	ADCmin < 1.0 mm²/s	ADCmin < 1.5 mm²/s
Accuracy	100%¹	61.0%	68.3%	58.5%
Sensitivity	100%	28.6%	70.0%	100.0%
Specificity	100%	95.0%	66.7%	19.0%
Positive predictive value	100%	85.7%	66.7%	54.1%

¹Indicates statistical significance (P < 0.001, two-tailed McNemar’s test). ADCmin: Minimum apparent diffusion coefficient; SUVmax: Maximum standardized uptake value.
