  • Note:—Sens indicates sensitivity; Spec, specificity; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; AUC, area under the curve; C, controls.

  • a ROC curves were compared between the models, including all MRI measurements and that with DTI measurements only.

  • b Models for DTI measurements were generated by including both FA and MD features.
