Interpretation of ANA Indirect Immunofluorescence Test Outside the Darkroom Using NOVA View Compared to Manual Microscopy

Figure 3

Comparative receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. ROC for manual indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) manual interpretation and NOVA View results for ANA related autoimmune rheumatic disease (AARD) versus healthy controls and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The ROC curves were similar for manual IIF and NOVA View, and as expected, specificity improves for both methods when RA patients are removed from analysis.
