13 What is the diagnostic accuracy of the test? 3 Diagnostic accuracy?

14 Diagnostic accuracy Test Technique Interpretation

15 How do you assess the overall quality of a diagnostic test? 1. Diagnostic accuracy (Se, Sp, PPV, NPV, Acc) 2. Cost 3. Time 4. Patient acceptability 5. All of the above

16 US compared with CT urography for investigating haematuria Evaluation & comparison of US with CT urography for diagnosing upper urinary tract disease in a hospital haematuria rapid diagnosis clinic Tse et al ESUR 2010

20 US compared with CT urography US has low sensitivity for upper tract cancers and stone disease, particularly for UTUC - small tumours without hydronephrosis / hydroureter CT urography should be the preferred examination for investigating these patients at high risk The role of US should be reviewed for investigating high risk haematuria patients Tse et al ESUR 2010
