Accuracy of radiologists, nonradiologists, and laypeople for identifying children with cerebral cortical atrophy from & #8220;Mercator map & #8221; curved reconstructions of MRIs of the brain
Conclusion: The high specificity and sensitivity of radiologists validated the technique for distinguishing abnormal scans, regarding cortical pathology. High specificity of laypeople for identifying abnormal brains using Mercator maps indicates that this is a viable communication tool for demonstrating cortical MRI abnormalities of HII in children to laypersons.
