Table 4 Inter- and intra-reader agreement of aortic regurgitation in 4D flow level 1–6

From: Quantitative evaluation of aortic valve regurgitation in 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance: at which level should we measure?

 

Inter-reader agreement ICC (95%CI)

Intra-reader agreement ICC (95%CI)

Level 1 (below AV)

0.592 (0.257 – 0.802)

0.948 (0.881 – 0.977)

Level 2 (AV)

0.812 (0.533 – 0.922)

0.837 (0.644 – 0.928)

Level 3 (Sinus)

0.889 (0.759 – 0.951)

0.837 (0.643 – 0.924)

Level 4 (ST)

0.984 (0.963 – 0.989)

0.975 (0.936 – 0.991)

Level 5 (PA)

0.993 (0.986 – 0.998)

0.982 (0.946 – 0.994)

Level 6 (below BCT)

0.987 (0.971 – 0.992)

0.975 (0.923 – 0.989)

  1. Inter-and intra-reader agreement was best at level 5, the level of the pulmonary arteries
  2. AV Aortic valve, ST Sinotubular junction, PA Pulmonary arteries, BCT Brachiocephalic trunk
