PERFEX uses certainty factors to calculate the
probability of everything it pronounces upon. In this case it is the certainty
factor of whether or not there is a perfusion defect.
The certainty factors are in this case being translated to the following
expressions:
0.80 -> 1.00 : is. 0.40 -> 0.80 : probably is. 0.20 -> 0.40 : possibly is. -0.20 -> 0.20 : equivocally is.
