Current tab, overview of application and additional information about development.
Here you can access the user guide and templates.
Here you can load your own local cohort for analysis in concordance with the methods described in the publication.
Here you can try out the app and explore the environment before you assemble your local dataset.
The sample subjects used are not based on real subject data and should not be used to assess MPM performance or recommend thresholds for real-world cases.

The user guide indicates (1) how variables should be coded and (2) how columns should be named. It also provides an overview of which variables/columns are used in each of the four MPMs. If you wish to only receive results from a single MPM, please feel free to use the templates provided on the 'Local Single MPM File Templates' tab above.
Save user guide as ''MPM_UserGuide.pdf'' to your computer's Downloads folderThe template file is a comma separated file or '.csv' which can open in Excel or a text editor. It includes the appropriate column names and a single default subject. To use the template, simply add local subjects as a new row per the directions in the user guide.
Save template as ''MPM_localData_template.csv'' to your computer's Downloads folderSimilar to Figure 1 of Uthoff et al. (PMID: XXXXX)- histograms of MPM predictions split based on true nodule classification. Solid lines indicate MPM-associated thresholds. Note vertical axis autoscales to optimal for visualizatoin of MPM.

All four MPM risk predictionsSimilar to Figure 1 of Uthoff et al. (PMID: XXXX) - histograms of MPM predictions split based on true nodule classification. Solid black lines indicate MPM-associated thresholds. The gray dashed line is the Youden threshold. Note vertical axis autoscales to optimal for visualizatoin of MPM.
