From: Diffusion-weighted imaging or MR spectroscopy: Which to use for the assessment of the response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients?

Statistic	ADC (%)	MRS (%)	Curve type (%)	ADC + MRS (%)	ADC + curve type (%)	MRS + curve type (%)	MRS + CURVE type + ADC (%)
Sensitivity	78.95	78.95	73.68	89.47	89.47	78.95	89.47
Specificity	83.33	91.67	83.33	83.33	75.00	91.67	83.33
PPV	88.24	93.75	87.50	89.47	85.00	93.75	89.47
NPV	71.43	73.33	66.67	83.33	81.82	73.33	83.33
Accuracy	80.65	83.87	77.42	87.10	83.87	83.87	87.10

The Values in Bold are the values that clarify the solo role of the ADC values and MRS and show the relevant modality to predict complete cancer remisison
