Test Performance of Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography for Mediastinal Staging in Patients with Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Figure 6. Post-test probabilities are shown as a function of pretest probability in patients with positive FDG-PET results and enlarged lymph nodes on CT ( ), patients with positive FDG-PET results and no enlarged lymph nodes on CT ( ), patients with negative FDG-PET results and enlarged lymph nodes on CT ( ), and patients with negative FDG-PET results and no enlarged lymph nodes on CT ( ).
