Table 4 Patient based diagnostic accuracies of FDG-PET/CT and CECT for detecting BM

From: Brain metastases assessment by FDG-PET/CT: can it eliminate the necessity for dedicated brain imaging?

BM	Sensitivity	Specificity	PPV	NPV	Accuracy
PET/CT	78.13	92.65	83.33	90.0	88%
CECT	81.25	94.12	86.67	91.43	90%

BM brain metastases, PPV positive predictive value, NPV negative predictive value
