Table 2:

Correlation of the averaged semiautomated stenosis measurements with the manual reference measurements and the average difference of the manual measurements minus the semiautomated measurements

Correlation Coefficient (95% CI)Average Difference
Degree of stenosisa0.87 (0.83–0.90)6.2 ± 16%
Minimal diametera0.88 (0.84–0.91)0.1 ± 0.9 mm
Reference diametera0.68 (0.57–0.76)0.52 ± 0.5 mm
Corrected degree of stenosisb0.85 (0.80–0.89)2.1 ± 14%
Corrected reference diameterb0.69 (0.59–0.77)0.08 ± 0.5 mm
  • Note:P < .01 for all Pearson correlation coefficients. The corrected rows show the results of the semiautomated analysis, in which the maximal diameter at the reference position has been used in the stenosis calculations. Significant differences are displayed in bold.

  • a The average of 4 semiautomated measurements was used.

  • b A single run of semiautomated measurements was used.
