Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The diagnostic value of single photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been assessed using arbitrarily determined sensitivity and specificity cut-off values. The diagnostic accuracy of thallium-201 (Tl-201) SPECT and technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (Tc-MIBI) SPECT were compared for patients with primary glioma using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The study population included 59 patients with gliomas. Tl and Tc-MIBI SPECT images were obtained using a multi-detector SPECT machine 15 min (early) and 3 hours (delayed) after intravenous injection of 74 MBq of Tl-chloride or 740 MBq of Tc-MIBI. The regions of interest were set on the tumor and contralateral normal white matter and tumor : normal ratios were calculated. The area z-score (A z ) values were calculated from the areas under the ROC curves. All A z values were high and no statistical difference was observed between the two modalities. Both Tl and Tc-MIBI SPECT are useful imaging modalities for the evaluation of glioma malignancy.
