Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the four imaging modalities. Values are the average for all observers of each modality. Sonography showed not only the highest accuracy, but also the highest sensitivity for both IgG4-DS and SS, and the highest specificity among the modalities. There were significant differences between sonography and CT (p = 0.0001) and between sonography and FDG-PET/CT (p = 0.0058) regarding accuracy.
