TL;DR
Transverse 16-section multi-detector row CT data sets are an excellent test for the diagnosis of small-bowel obstruction, while the addition of coronal reformations obtained from these isotropic data sets adds confidence to the diagnosis and exclusion of SBO.

RadiologyThe meaning and use of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.
