  1. As an overall evaluation of the blood flow to the grafted tissue, the device outputs a comprehensive risk judgement calculated from the assessment of each of the three parameters as normal or abnormal. The rate of agreement between the algorithm’s judgement and the physician’s judgement was 96.8% overall when the follow-up required category was considered as abnormal. The rate of agreement was 99.2% when cases judged as neither normal nor abnormal (follow-up required) were excluded.
