Abstract
Issues related to ROC curves are addressed. The original article on the subject by Lee Lusted, describing the "state of the art" 20 years ago, is reviewed. The concepts that Lusted addressed are then expanded, suggesting the current state of the art. New issues that have arisen with regard to ROC curves and their use in medicine are addressed. Finally, potential areas for future investigation are suggested.Keywords
