Intra-patient Accuracy (Percent Agreement), On-site Data
intra-patient accuracy (percent agreement) of each type of MRA examination (Dotarem® or Gadovist®-enhanced MRA) in assessing the lesions of the concerned territory as compared with the gold standard, X-ray angiography.
Time frame: up to one month
Intra-patient Accuracy, in Off-site Readings
• Intra-patient accuracy (percent agreement) of each type of MRA examination (Dotarem® or Gadovist®-enhanced MRA) in assessing the lesions of the concerned territory as compared with the gold standard, X-ray angiography, in off-site readings, using the same methodology as that used for the primary criterion
Time frame: up to one month
Specificity
Specificity of Dotarem® and Gadovist®-enhanced MRA examinations at the segment and the patient levels (gold standard = x-ray angiography) in on-site readings; no stenosis and non significant stenosis were grouped as one class (non significant stenosis = negative segment).
Time frame: up to one month
Sensitivity
sensitivity of Dotarem® and Gadovist®-enhanced MRA examinations at the segment and the patient levels (gold standard = x-ray angiography) in on-site; moderate, severe stenosis and occlusion were grouped as one class (significant stenosis = positive segment).
Time frame: up to one month
