Fig. 4 Plot of summary ROC curve comparing MRI techniques with other reference standards in the 16 studies with complete data: X-ray, clinical diagnosis, arthroscopy, histology, direct visualization, and CT scan. Diagnostic accuracy is demonstrated by plotting 1-specificity (x-axis) vs sensitivity (y-axis). The AUC is 0.804.
