Interrater Agreement and Combining Ratings

Some behaviors such as smiles require human raters for their measurement.

The ideal of theoretically identical raters is considered and also departures from such identity. Methods for parameter estimation and asse...

Terms and Definitions for Describing Myometrial Pathology Using Ultrasonography

This paper is a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements to describe and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using grayscale sonography, color/power Doppler, and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging. These terms and definitions may be relevant both for the clinician when reporting ultrasound examinations in daily practice and for clinical research. The use of the...

Terms, definitions and measurements to describe sonographic features of myometrium and uterine masses: a consensus opinion from the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group.

The MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment) statement is a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using gray-scale sonography, color/power Doppler and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging. The terms and definitions described may form the basis for prospective studies to predict the ...
