ROC analysis of the 4 different approaches for the assessment of LAS. LAS-epi/mid and LAS-epi/perp performed significantly better in discriminating healthy subjects from patients than LAS-endo/mid and LAS-endo/perp, respectively. Values for area under the curve (AUC) were significantly higher in LAS-epi/mid and LAS epi/perp (0.95 and 0.93 vs. 0.79 and 0.79 p < 0.0001)
