Figure 5 Incremental cost-accuracy ratio compared with computed tomography alone strategy as the baseline.
A negative ICAR means cost-effectiveness. At the prevalence of cancer up to 34%, all strategies being compared are cost effective; in particular, the CT plus PET plus DWI strategy is cost-effective at the prevalence up to 63%. ICAR: Incremental cost-accuracy ratio; PET: Positron emission tomography; CT: Computed tomography; DWI: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
