Scatter plot showing intra-rater (observer) reliability of video assessment CRT as a function of correlation coefficient of video assessment CRT with image analysis CRT. Attending physicians (22 and 28 years of ED work experience), residents (3 years of ED work experience), nurses (2 years of ED work experience), and physician assistants (1 and 2 years of ED work experience) participated in the study. Six clinicians were actively performing CRT assessments in their clinical work. Observers, who showed higher correlation with image analysis CRT, demonstrated higher intra-rater reliability, and there was a strong correlation between these coefficient values (r = 0.72, p < 0.05)
