... independently classified with the ECASS method by 6 blinded observers. Inter- and intraobserver reproducibility was categorized from poor to excellent depending on ĸ values. Results: The inter- and intraobserver overall concordance of the classification was good for T2*GRE, DWI and CT (ĸ > 0.6) and moderate...

...Ellisiv B. Mathiesen; Oddmund Joakimsen; Kaare H. Bønaa Background and Purpose: Knowledge of the reproducibility of a diagnostic method is important in order to evaluate its usefulness. Few studies have examined interobserver and intermethod agreement on ultrasound measurements of carotid stenosis...

...Rocco Totaro; Carmine Marini; Massimo Baldassarre; Antonio Carolei Transcranial Doppler is routinely used to assess the cerebrovascular reactivity, despite scarce information on its reproducibility. We evaluated the reproducibility of cerebrovascular reactivity measurements by this method utilizing...

..., but the reproducibility of new ultrasonic methods has not yet been proved. The objective was to evaluate interobserver and intraobserver agreement in characterizing the carotid plaques studied by both B mode imaging and color Doppler imaging, which is the only ultrasonic method available for recognizing anechoic lesions...
