Receiver operator curve of signal intensity in regions of fibrosis in CPFE patients compared to similar regions of the lungs in control subjects. The area under the curve was 0.82, p = 0.002. Using a SI value of ≥ 19 resulted in a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 86% in differentiating fibrosis in CPFE patients from dependent atelectasis in controls.
