CPs had modestly higher CRs compared with CTs; and, although the variable CRs highlight indeterminate IOV, the MSRSGC enables reproducibility. Characterizing larger cohorts in the indeterminate categories will further improve MSRSGC criteria. Moreover, education on the MSRSGC should include CTs and CPs to improve overall diagnostic accuracy.
