Figure 1 ROC of the study group to compare the tradeoffs between the true-positive rate and the false-positive rate of low lamellar count. A lamellar count of 55 as the optimal cutoff point for aortic dilatation in patients undergoing intracardiac repair with a sensitivity of 78.4% and specificity of 73.9%.
