ROC analysis to differentiate patients' response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Using measured AIF a decrease in Ve of less than -72% results in 73% sensitivity for identifying non-responders (specificity 92%; area 0.83). Using theoretical AIF, the cutoff value of -51% had lower accuracy (sensitivity 64%; specificity 100%; area 0.74). For transfer constant using measured AIF, a decrease of less than -84% results in 73% sensitivity in the identification of 8 of 11 non-responders patients (Specificity 77%; area under ROC curve 0.80). Using calculated AIF, the cutoff value of -85% had lower accuracy (sensitivity 46%; specificity 54%; area under ROC curve 0.48).
