Specifically, it lacks:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  • Details about a study, sample sizes, data provenance, expert qualifications, or adjudication methods.
  • Information on MRMC comparative effectiveness studies or standalone algorithm performance.
  • Details about ground truth establishment or training set sample sizes.
