ROC curves of heterogeneity scores for differentiating between benign and malignant nodules. The AUROC curve was 0.679 (95% CI 0.579–0.778) for III-B vs. III-M, 0.736 (0.652–0.820) for II-B/III-B vs. III-M, 0.741 (0.672–0.811) for II-B/III-B vs. III-M/V&VI-M. For the highest diagnostic performance, II-B/III-B vs. III-M/V&VI-M had a cut-off for heterogeneity scores greater than 31.97%, a sensitivity of 0.658, and a specificity of 0.658.
