  1. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to determine the degree of interobserver and intraobserver reliability. The intraobserver and interobserver variabilities were determined by Bland–Altman analysis. CI confidence interval, LoAs limits of agreement. aBased on the first measurements of the first observer and measurements of the second observer. bBased on the first and second measurements of the first observer.
