Reliability study for rib index
Objectives The Rib Index, (RI), extracted from the double rib couture sign (DRCS) on lateral spinal radiographs to evaluate rib hump deformity in IS patients has been earlier introduced (Grivas at al 2000). Although various papers using the RI have been published, no study of its reproducibility was reported. To estimate the variations of the RI in a number of a pair set of lateral chest radiog...
متن کاملReliability study for the Rib Index in chest radiographs of a control group
BACKGROUND The Rib Index, (RI), extracted from the double rib contour sign (DRCS) on lateral spinal radiographs to evaluate rib hump deformity, (RHD), in idiopathic scoliosis, (IS), patients, has been previously introduced. Although various papers using the RI have been published, no study on its reproducibility has been reported. The aim of this report is to estimate the variations of the RI i...

متن کاملAN AGGREGATED FUZZY RELIABILITY INDEX FOR SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS
While sophisticated analytical methods like Morgenstern-Price or finite elementmethods are available for more realistic analysis of stability of slopes, assessment of the exactvalues of soil parameters is practically impossible. Uncertainty in the soil parameters arisesfrom two different sources: scatter in data and systematic error inherent in the estimate of soilproperties. Hence, stability o...
متن کاملInexperienced examiners and the Foot Posture Index: A reliability study.
The Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) is a reliable (experienced examiners) assessment tool used in clinical practice to classify foot posture. No work has been completed to determine the reliability of the FPI-6 between novice examiners. Therefore, the aim was to determine the inter-examiner reliability of the FPI-6 using two novice examiners (graduate level osteopathy students). The FPI-6 was used t...
