Since October 1991 the AMBER technique has been used for the diagnosis of chest diseases in about 4,000 patients. The ability of this technique, compared with conventional methods, for demonstrating intrathoracic masses on p.a. views has been assessed. Amongst the patients there were 43 with coin lesions, 18 with hilar and 33 with mediastinal masses. ROC analysis showed the AMBER technique to be superior in demonstrating coin lesions (AMBER 0.92, conventional 0.85) and mediastinal masses (AMBER 0.89, conventional 0.73). There was a small, statistically not significant, disadvantage in the AMBER technique for demonstrating hilar masses (AMBER 0.80, conventional 0.84).
自1991年10月以来,AMBER技术已用于约4000例患者的胸部疾病诊断。已评估了该技术与传统方法相比,在正位胸片上显示胸内肿块的能力。患者中有43例有肺内结节,18例有肺门肿块,33例有纵隔肿块。受试者工作特征(ROC)分析表明,AMBER技术在显示肺内结节(AMBER 0.92,传统方法0.85)和纵隔肿块(AMBER 0.89,传统方法0.73)方面更具优势。AMBER技术在显示肺门肿块方面存在微小的、统计学上无显著意义的劣势(AMBER 0.80,传统方法0.84)。
