Number and percentage of AVMs detected on ASL and conventional MR imaging, with κ coefficient for interreader reliability

SequenceTotal Number of AVMs Detected% of AVMs Detected (n = 57)Interreader Agreement (Cohen κ Coefficient)a
MR imaging with ASL5189.5%0.801
Conventional MR imaging without ASL4375.4%0.704
P value .046
  • a Strength of agreement based on Cohen κ coefficient score: none to slight κ < 0.20, fair κ = 0.21–0.40, moderate κ = 0.41–0.60, substantial κ = 0.61–0.80, near perfect κ = 0.81–0.99. P-value derived from McNemar's test.
