results the interobserver agreement for sonographic descriptors changed between fair and substantial. the highest agreement was detected for mass orientation (κ=0.66). the lowest agreement was found in the margin (κ=0.33). the interobserver agreement for bi-rads final category was found as fair (κ=0.35). the intraobserver agreement for sonographic descriptors changed between substantial and alm...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate radiologist agreement on the quantification of bronchiectasis by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The HRCT scans of 43 patients with bronchiectasis were analyzed by two radiologists, who used a scoring system to grade the findings. Kappa (κ) values and overall agreement were calculated. RESULTS For the measurement and appearance of bron...

Background: Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) are the most prevalent among non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), which correspond to the most common skin cancers. BCC histopathological subtyping is a problem in therapeutic management. Therefore, we have decided to perform a histopathologic study for better classification of BCCs based on interobserver diagnostic judgment. Methods: We conducted this cross...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the reliability of semiquantitative Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) on chest Computed Tomography (CT). METHODS Four observers performed VFA twice upon sagittal reconstructions of 50 routine clinical chest CTs. Intra- and interobserver agreement (absolute agreement or 95% Limits of Agreement) and reliability (Cohen's kappa or intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)) ...

Ultrasonography of the hip was performed sequentially by two different examiners in 75 infants. The ultrasound strips were reviewed twice by three paediatric orthopaedic surgeons and classified by the Graf method. The intraobserver and interobserver agreement between the interpretations was analysed using simple and weighted kappa coefficients calculated for agreement on the Graf classification...
