Abstract
SUMMARY: The purpose of this work was to compare inter- and intraobserver agreement in the analysis of CAWT by using MDCTA. The CAWT in 35 patients was quantified by 4 observers. Bland-Altman statistics were used to measure the agreement between observers. The results of our study demonstrated that the CAWT measured by using MDCTA shows a good reproducibility between observers by considering inter- and intraobserver agreement.
