  		Fig. 2 —Receiver operating characteristic curves based on preablation tumor volumes. Source of curves: top curve = preablation tumor in ML, area under curve = 0.768 (p < 0.005), 95% confidence interval = (0.622, 0.915); middle curve = preablation tumor, area under percent liver volume curve = 0.737 (p < 0.010), 95% confidence interval = (0.582, 0.892). Reference line extends from 0.0 to 1.0 on x and y axes.
