  1. To clarify notations, MID_E1a represents the first attempt of Examiner 1 to assess the samples with MID. MID_E1b represents the second attempt of Examiner 1 performed 1–2 weeks later. Diagnostic values are reported at two disease thresholds defined after histological sectioning. Mean values of the Sen and Sp are reported.
