Mesentery morphological features on computed tomography for preoperative prediction of tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis in colon cancer

Figure 2 The Box-whisker plots and receiver operating characteristic plots for tumor-contributed computed tomography value to discriminate T and N stages in the validation cohort. A: The Box-whisker plot for tumor-contributed computed tomography value (CT-T value) values in patients with T1/2 vs T3/4 stages; B: The Box-whisker plot for CT-T values in patients with N0 vs N1/2 stages; C: The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plot for CT-T value to discriminate T1/2 vs T3/4 stages; D: The ROC plot for CT-T value to discriminate N0 vs N1/2 stages (^aP < 0.01). AUC: Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CT-T: Tumor-contributed computed tomography.
