Graph 3: The cost effectiveness acceptability curve for CT negative patients

PET

CWU

The results for the CEAC in CT positive are shown in graph 4 below. The threshold
needed for the probability that PET is 50% more of the time cost effective compared to the
CWU strategy would be $A 43,000. However, given the sensitivity of the CT positive strategy
results to changes in individual parameters much more certainty would be needed before it
would be acceptable to recommend PET in CT positive patients as robustly cost effective
result.
