Reports Measurement of Ultrasound Biomicroscopy Images: Intraobserver and Interobserver Reliability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods. Four anterior segment images of four normal patients were obtained by a single examiner. The measurements of three independent observers were compared to assess interobserver reproducibility in quantifying the images. Thirteen different anterior segment parameters were measured by each observer on each image. Intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of measurement were assessed by calculating the coefficient of variation for each individual observer and by using the F test to detect a difference among observers.

متن کاملThe interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the Fernandez classification of distal radius fracture
Abstract Background: With increasing knowledge concerning fractures of the distal radius, different classifications have been proposed. Reliability of most of these classifications has been assessed. The Fernandez classification has never been assessed for intraobserver and interobserver reliability, although this classification is commonly used. Methods: Five observers including one attending...

OBJECTIVES To test the reliability of new ultrasound (US) definitions and quantification of synovial hypertrophy (SH) and power Doppler (PD) signal, separately and in combination, in a range of joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using the European League Against Rheumatisms-Outcomes Measures in Rheumatology (EULAR-OMERACT) combined score for PD and SH. METHODS A stepwise approa...
متن کاملAnterior cruciate ligament tunnel position measurement reliability on 3-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate intraobserver and interobserver reliability of anterior cruciate ligament tunnel location measurement by use of 3-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography (CT). METHODS Three-dimensional reconstructed CT images of 31 cadaveric knees were used in this study. Twenty-one knees were operated on with a double-bundle technique, and ten knees we...
