So for a problem, I am comparing Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). I am ultimately asked if there is a difference in accuracy between PETCT and MRI, which one would be better and what the degree of association between the two methods is. Because of the last part about association, I know I need to run a Chi-Square Test. But first, I can't get my data imported correctly.
There are 50 subjects and the data looks like this:

50 Incorrect Incorrect
I don't know how to get the data into a table that will allow me the run a chi-square. Any tips?
/* UNTESTED CODE */ proc freq data=have; tables MRI*PETCT/chisq; run;
/* UNTESTED CODE */ proc freq data=have; tables MRI*PETCT/chisq; run;
In addition to Chi Squared you're likely going to want to calculate the specificity and sensitivity.
